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

My students love to learn and love math, unfortunately during covid students had a harder time during online school and the loss of academic skills and knowledge is noticeable today.

Help us get some games to help them practice their maticamatical operations and acquire financial literacy, to support their engineering creative process and their prep for the regents with algebra tiles.

These materials will allow us to create math centers for my students to practice and solidify their skills.

Having math centers will allow me to get to work with small math groups, and help the students develop their engineering projects, while the rest of my students will be on a different center/station. I will also need bins to place the math games in.

My students learn best by hands-on learning so games are the way to go! Fun is always a great way to learn.
