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

My students choose this class not because it is easy but because they know it will prepare them for the challenges in life. Despite their enthusiasm for learning, the math level of many of these students will limit them at the beginning.

They need materials that can help them get to speed and make sense of the new concepts as they learn the exciting and sometimes intricate world of physics.

Activity books, special lessons from Teachers Pay Teachers and graph paper are tools that will allow the students to exercise their mathematical and reasoning skills.
