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
Establishing a classroom environment that fosters a sense of community through allowing students opportunities to express their mathematical ideas, see mistakes as learning opportunities, and see one another as doers and learners of mathematics, is what I strive for. With these resources, I hope to help my students see the joy and beauty of mathematics, develop a growth mindset and at the same time develop their mathematical identities. I want my students to know they are mathematicians! "If students are to see themselves as intellectual beings, they must step into a classroom where intellectualism is deeply seeded, expected, and nurtured." Dr. Gholdy Muhammad
Nearly all students from low‑income households
