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

This project is for my students to build their math skills, number sense, and relationships through games with their families. They love developing their skills at school, but many don't have the basic materials to play at home. Over 50% of our population of nearly 760 students in our k-5 school are economically disadvantaged. Almost half of our students are English Language learners. I know that practice at school and home will greatly improve their math understanding.

My Project

This project is for my students to build their math skills, number sense, and relationships through games with their families. All parents want their child to succeed and to spend quality time with their children, why not help them combine these desires... and learn to love mathematics along the way?

According to Mathnasium,

• Playing games encourages strategic mathematical thinking as students find different strategies for solving problems and deepen their understanding of numbers.

• When played repeatedly, games support students’ development of computational fluency.

• Games present opportunities for practice, often without the need for teachers to provide the problems.

• Games have the potential to allow students to develop familiarity with the number system and with “benchmark numbers” (such as 10s, 100s, and 1000s) and engage in computation practice, building a deeper understanding of operations.

• Games support a school-to-home connection. Parents can learn about their children’s mathematical thinking by playing games with them at home and helps to relieve math anxiety or the hate of mathematics.

In addition, playing games helps children develop their social-emotional health by fostering turn-taking, being patient, and collaborative problem-solving.

Please consider helping my goal of getting math games into all my students' homes and developing their love of mathematics.
