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

My kindergarten students start school with limited math skills. It is so important to build a strong foundation in mathematics as it is crucial for their future academic success. Math manipulatives and games help make math learning fun and encourage student engagement.

Math manipulatives such as counting blocks, shape sorters, and colorful beads allow children to explore mathematical concepts through play.

When we start teaching young students traditional math, we lose them quickly. The opportunity to find excitement in math is quickly lost. By using tangible objects kids can touch and manipulate, students can transform something abstract like math into a fun and stimulating activity. For example, counting blocks can be used in various activities, from simple addition and subtraction to creating patterns. These hands-on experiences not only make learning fun but also help solidify understanding by involving multiple senses.

Mrs. Harbaugh-Mata will only receive her materials if this project is fully funded by Saturday, August 23.
