Help me give my students an opportunity to use manipulatives that will help them hone their mathematical thinking skills. These manipulatives will help my students connect ideas and integrate their knowledge, gaining a deep understanding of mathematical concepts.

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 Students
Our school is in an impoverished suburban area that has a minority of
Hispanic, a small percent of Asian, White, and Black with a socio-economic structure from mostly middle class to lower middle class.
Nearly all our students are from low‑income households, are English Learners, and some have special needs.
My students are wonderful despite these factors. They give their best in every challenge and keep their spirits high. They might not be academically gifted, but they are hardworking and striving to improve and to grow personally and academically. They are enthusiastic and ready to learn new things.
With your help, I would like to serve them better by giving them an opportunity to use what will help my students hone their mathematical thinking skills. These manipulatives will help my students connect ideas and integrate their knowledge, gaining a deep understanding of mathematical concepts.
My Project
These manipulatives, Learning Resources Folding Geometric Shapes, Geometry/ Math Helper and Learning Resources MathLink Cubes, will give an opportunity to my students to enhance their learning of concepts in Geometry.
Giving students ways to compare and contrast surface area and volume by allowing them to have hands-on experiences moves their concrete learning to abstract reasoning.
These help students connect ideas and integrate their knowledge so that they gain a deep understanding of mathematical concepts.
This project will be an important tool in providing effective, active, and engaging lessons in the teaching of Geometry.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
