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 Students

Have you ever known anyone who has said "I am horrible at math?" I want to make sure that when students leave my classroom they leave with confidence and strong math skills.

My students are eighth grade regular math students in a large urban middle school.

These students would benefit from additional hands-on mathematics experiences. Many of them are second language learners. My students have had limited success in the mathematics classroom setting. I hope by providing hands-on instruction their performance will improve.

My Project

The material will be used to improve the students' skills in all math areas with a special emphasis on geometry and measurement. As these students explore mathematics using calculators, dry-erase boards, all types of manipulatives, and more their excitement about mathematics will increase. Moreover, their conceptual understanding will also increase.

Mathematics is an essential skill for any adult.

If these students leave middle school without a strong mathematical foundation they will struggle in high school and beyond. Learning now will help them when they have to do basic things such as balancing a check book or buying groceries.
