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

In our classroom, we believe that learning math should be as exciting as a magic show. That’s why we’ve started the “Math Magic: Unlocking Numbers with Hands-On Learning” project. Our mission is to make math real and touchable for our students through various math manipulatives. These aren’t just toys; they’re keys to unlocking a deeper understanding of math. With base-ten blocks, fraction circles, and geometry kits, our students will be able to hold numbers in their hands and see math come alive. This hands-on approach will help them grasp complex concepts like place value, fractions, and geometry in a way that lectures simply can’t match.

What makes our students so special is their diversity and eagerness to learn.

They come from many different backgrounds, but they all share a love for discovery. These math manipulatives will give them a new way to explore numbers together. Our goal is to make math a subject that every student can love and excel in. By supporting our project, you’re not just giving to a school; you’re opening up a world of possibilities for our students. You’re helping to turn math class into a place of wonder and excitement, where every student has the chance to succeed and enjoy the magic of mathematics
