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

Mathematics can be challenging for many middle school students, especially when concepts remain abstract. By integrating visual aids like math charts and hands-on manipulatives, we can bridge this gap, catering to various learning styles and promoting a deeper understanding of mathematical principles. For instance, fraction tiles can help students visualize and grasp fraction operations more effectively, while algebra tiles can demystify complex algebraic concepts. These tools make learning more engaging and build students' confidence in their mathematical abilities. By supporting this project, you're investing in tools that will make math more accessible and enjoyable for middle school students. These resources will aid in conceptual understanding and inspire a lifelong appreciation for mathematics.​
