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 today's math world, we are stepping away from the traditional math lesson of routine and using "I do, we do, you do." Instead, I am encouraging my students to become thinkers, to work collaboratively to solve a question and use the resources they have so far. Some students like to work with paper and pencil, some enjoy working with dry erase boards and markers whether it may be sitting at their desk, or standing to solve a problem using the vertical whiteboards with one common goal in mind to understand mathematical concepts.
