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

The math manipulative station which will include the Pattern Blocks and Dice poppers, will be a dynamic center where my students can explore mathematical concepts through hands-on activities. I plan to use it for a variety of purposes, including building foundational skills with base-ten blocks, reinforcing arithmetic with interactive games, and visualizing geometry with pattern blocks and tangrams. My students will rotate through the station in small groups, allowing for collaborative learning and individual exploration. This approach will help me accommodate different learning styles, provide immediate feedback, and make abstract concepts more tangible and engaging for all my students.
