Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Each student will have a Math Kit at their desk for them to choose which math manipulative will help them become an amazing mathematician.

Math manipulatives help give early education students a strong foundation!

Easy access to their own individual manipulatives will create an easy flow to our math lessons.

Each student has their own unique style of learning. These resources will allow them to pick which manipulatives help them the most during our math lessons. It will also give them practice with manipulatives that will appear on their yearly standardized tests. Therefore, having these tools right in front of them will help them succeed on these tests.
