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

Building Math Skills with Hands-On Learning!

My students are amazing learners who thrive with hands-on activities.

They are curious, determined, and benefit from interactive lessons that make learning fun and meaningful. Many of them struggle with abstract math concepts, so having engaging tools is essential for their success.

The dice, math games, manipulatives, and money kits I’m requesting will make a big difference in their learning. These resources will help my students strengthen number sense, improve problem-solving skills, and practice real-world math concepts like counting money and making change. Hands-on materials keep them engaged and allow them to learn at their own pace in a way that works best for them.

My goal for this project is to build confidence in math by providing tools that make difficult concepts easier to understand. With these resources, my students will improve their math skills while also developing independence and problem-solving abilities they need for everyday life.

With your support, my students will have the opportunity to explore math in a way that is fun, interactive, and meaningful. Thank you for helping bring math to life in our classroom!
