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

This project brings math to life with interactive materials that turn abstract concepts into engaging, student-centered experiences.

I am requesting a variety of math manipulatives, dry-erase activities, logic puzzles, whiteboard dice, game sets, and magnetic tools that can be used in pairs or small groups.

These will support units like linear equations, transformations, volume, systems of equations, and functions.

By incorporating these resources into stations, group challenges, and partner games, students will:

Build problem-solving stamina

Strengthen conceptual understanding

Learn to explain their reasoning aloud

Engage in peer collaboration and academic discussion

These materials will help me reach all learners, including those who need visual and tactile support to understand complex topics while making math fun and empowering for everyone.
