Help me give my students their identities as critical thinkers, problem solvers, and mathematicians, through the practice of creating a math journal and through increased opportunities for independent, hands-on learning activities.

Celebrating 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
As a current middle school math teacher, who is preparing to complete this academic year, I am already looking ahead to establish a classroom space for next academic year that welcomes a new class of mathematicians. Fostering a student-centered classroom space in which students feel that they have the necessary supplies, such as pencils and paper, in addition to math-specific materials, including calculators, is important. I want to ensure that my students both this year and next have basic school supplies and have a continued opportunities to build their mathematical and critical thinking abilities within the learning space through math manipulatives, including number lines and engaging math activities, such as Project Based Learning using different supplies mentioned in my project.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
