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

Every Friday will become our official "Math Game Day" - a dedicated time for reviewing the week's concepts through engaging, collaborative play.

Research shows that game-based learning increases student engagement and provides struggling learners with safe opportunities to practice and succeed.

The Hearing Things Game will transform our math vocabulary practice into hilarious communication challenges, helping students master terms like "quotient," "perimeter," and "equivalent fractions" while building teamwork skills.

Our Magna Doodle boards will become portable problem-solving stations where students sketch diagrams, work through multi-step word problems, and share their mathematical thinking with partners - perfect for visual learners who need to "see" their math.

The fly swatter set will be the star of our high-energy "Math Splat" games! Students will spread math problems, equations, or answers across tables and race to "swat" the correct responses. Whether we're practicing multiplication facts, identifying equivalent fractions, or matching word problems to their solutions, these swatters turn math review into an exciting, physical competition that gets everyone moving and actively engaged - even students who might normally feel intimidated by math drills.

The 5 Second Rule Relay will challenge students to quickly recall math facts and concepts under fun pressure, building confidence and fluency with everything from basic operations to fraction comparisons.

Both Melon Rind Jump games will provide targeted practice with the trickiest multiplication facts (7s and 8s) through engaging card games that students can play independently or in small groups, making fact fluency feel like play rather than work.

These games create a classroom culture where math practice becomes something students actually look forward to, ensuring our weekly learning truly sticks while building the mathematical confidence they'll need all year long.
