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

Help my second graders become bold, confident thinkers in math!

Every teacher knows the challenge of getting students to truly think—not just memorize, not just follow steps, but actively engage and solve problems.

That’s why I’m using the Building Thinking Classrooms (BTC) approach in my second-grade math class. BTC transforms students from passive learners into active problem-solvers by encouraging collaboration, discussion, and deep thinking. And when I use it in my classroom, my students amaze me!

To make BTC a success, my students need tabletop dry erase boards, magnetic marker holders, erasers, and teacher resource books. These materials will allow my students to work together, take risks, and engage in math in a way that’s exciting and hands-on. With your support, they’ll develop the confidence to tackle challenging problems—and even learn to love math!

Please help bring this powerful approach to life in my classroom. Your generosity will make a real difference in helping my students grow as thinkers, problem-solvers, and mathematicians!
