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

Data is everywhere in our world, and my students must learn how to make sense of it. By supporting our project, you'll help provide the tools necessary for them to explore graphing and statistics—key skills for real-world problem-solving. With notebooks, headphones, graph paper stickers, and rulers, my students will be better equipped to understand these concepts in depth.

Nearly every STEM career demands a solid grasp of data and statistics.

However, students often encounter data without fully understanding its origins, the reasons behind its collection, or the methods used to process it. By learning these skills, students will be empowered to critically analyze the data they encounter, allowing them to make informed decisions for themselves and their communities.

Your donation will provide each of my students with a graphing and data notebook, which will serve as a vital resource in their journey to becoming data-literate. Together, we can ensure that they have the skills to thrive in a data-driven world.
