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
My sixth graders are persistent and ready to face new challenges. They love learning! Their passion for learning inspires me to give my all as their teacher. I teach in an area of low-income and high poverty. Nearly all students qualify for the free lunch program. Our school is a wonderful learning community, yet it is very low on resources.
I want to be able to provide my students with the supplies and resources they need to become motivated, life-long learners.
My Project
My students will be able to visually understand what it means to multiply fractions with these fraction multipliers. When students are able to work with their hands, the information really sticks. This is why I am also asking for equation tiles. Students can really be creative and form equations to solve. Lastly, I am asking for chart paper so that our work from Choral Counting, Number Strings, and the many other math talks we engage in are displayed around the classroom for reference.
With these new materials, my students will be able to have a strong number sense and solve problems in multiple ways.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
