Hot DotTing Our Way Into Being Mathematicians

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

Do you remember those games and activities that made you love learning? Well, my students would love to have the same experiences to help their love of learning grow and prosper throughout the rest of their lives! My 18 third graders live on the south side of Richmond, Virginia and attend at Title I elementary school. We are a high ESL population which means my students flourish with the ability to be bilingual at a young age.

They come to school ready to learn and find out the answers to questions they wonder every day.

They're passionate about all things animals and science, curious about history, and ready to take on the challenges of math and reading head on.

My Project

When you enter the upper grades, students start to become more independent and show autonomy in their learning - this is exactly what Hot Dots does! Hot Dots are a resource where students can practice their math skills on their own. Students are given a pen that will let them know if they have the answer correct answer or if they need to try again.

I want to teach my students that learning can be done without being told every step of what needs to be done, that you are able to self correct and teach yourself.

The independence that will come with these Hot Dots will give my higher level students what they have been craving while I work with the lower level students. They can be an activity to reinforce skills, a confidence booster when they continuously get green while practicing the skill, and a good activity for fast finishers.
