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

My New York City English Language Learning students live to create. To a student with language-related constraints, a capability to express math proficiency through methods other than speech become necessary to sustain interest, inspiration, and requisite motivation to excel.

We attend an urban middle school full of dedicated, but economically disadvantaged, English Language Learning students.

My students excel when given the opportunity to express mathematics proficiency, though are sometimes intimidated when it comes time to verbally present in class. Though we study scaled drawings, elements of dimensional space, and coordinate mapping, we need a tangible connection to applied mathematics.

My Project

Introducing my students to the MakerBot bundle will give them the tools necessary to visualize, mathematically plan, and create tangible models. My students will excel at precision planning, task completion, organization, and the collaborative learning experience that awaits them as they build models in math class that before may have only existed in the space of their imagination. The MakerBot bundle will provide my students with the capacity to design and create relevant models of scale and spatial reasoning, as well as provide them with valuable life skills to succeed beyond middle school! A MakerBot will allow my students to shape an element of their environment, becoming masters of physical space. Contemporary students need to feel a powerful connection to concepts of designing, planning, mapping, and creating - a meaningful exploration of thinking in terms of spatial reasoning. What better way to do so than with an absolutely revolutionary model of technology?

As a teacher with a background in physical construction and design, I value facilitating a full curriculum that uses mathematical modeling in a meaningful manner to develop stronger reasoning skills among struggling students.

This project will help my students engage in sustained planning and collaboration. With a MakerBot, students will use maps and models to develop their mathematical literacy, as well as develop their innovative and creative minds, but only with your help!
