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 Students

Our school is made up of many English Language Learners who are eager to learn. The school is high poverty which makes getting material a challenge. These students require many forms of differentiated instruction and hands on practice to ensure they understand the material.

The manipulatives will ensure my students are actively engaged and allow them to model problems as they work to find solutions.

My students enjoy working with manipulatives and pick up concepts better with the practice manipulatives provide.

My Project

When funded, this project will ensure my students access to tools that will help them model and solve math problems. The place value write and wipe boards and foam discs will be used during whole group instruction to translate written numbers into standard and expanded form and back. The geoboards will be used as we tackle shapes and identify their various attributes. Gear clocks will assist students as the learn to tell time and also figure out elapsed time.

These manipulatives will allow students to work both independently and cooperatively to practice and build their skills.

The pencils and erasers will be used as additional classroom supplies and the easel will be used for small group instruction.
