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

I am a Middle School math teacher in downtown San Antonio striving to create the greatest and most innovative learning environment possible for my students by providing them with unique learning opportunities; one of the ways I do this is by creating "Family Math Engagement" activities. These activities encourage families to play math-related games TOGETHER so they are having fun AND learning all while spending quality time with each other.

Please help me provide each of my students with the "Game of Life" so they can create these meaningful experiences at home.
