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

I am a requesting a variety of Rubik's cubes, speed cubes and other math games to help my students become amazing mathematical problem solvers! I have some in class and they are just so popular, there is not enough for everyone! My students love using them say after a test or project, or right before a holiday Speed cubes and Rubik's Cube involves understanding and applying concepts like permutations, commutators, and conjugations to manipulate the cube's pieces strategically. I know my students will be absolutely thrilled to have these hand picked items actually get into their hands!
