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

I am a fifth-grade teacher in a large, pre-K-8 school. Most if not all of my students come from lower income families. Many of these children face poverty, violence, and obscenities of life on a daily basis; that are well beyond what most of us could imagine.

My fifth grade students are excited to learn!

We love to make math come alive. We approach math problems that we don't understand as, "I don't understand this......YET."

My students are encouraged to do their best, regardless of their personal situation. They work very hard and have positive attitudes! They respond to encouragement and thrive in a supportive environment! My goal is to help them be successful and become lifelong learners.

My Project

My classroom is full of eager learners. A typical day in our class is a mixture of lots of learning and TONS of fun. I've been blessed with students who love school, especially math! My goal is to grow my students' love for math by helping them to get a deeper understanding of the subject.

I want to answer the dreaded question, "When are we ever going to use math?" DynaMath provides real world situations and incorporates math to solve problems and find solutions.

DynaMath incorporates science and social studies into the lessons. Science and social studies are not currently a focus in elementary education in this country. My students LOVE both science and social studies so I want to satisfy their hunger for "cool facts" while sharpening their math skills.
