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

Our classroom is a mixed bunch of students; traditionally in the past they have been taught with lecture, quiz, lecture, quiz. We plan on changing that by providing project based learning. Most of our students are unsure of the math that is taught throughout high school, and in turn do not see the point of the materials, so motivation can be quite the challenge. We hope that our next set projects can be an Independent, Project Based, Learning Opportunity for the students as we dive into Geometry concepts such as area, volume, perimeter, angel measurements, trig functions, dialations, etc. We would like our students to choose from either of the STEM themed projects: Building a Mouse Trap Car, Designing their Dream Homes, or Solving Height/Length of unmeasurable structures.
