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 are extremely resilient. Despite the gaps they face in Algebra 1 they preserve to keep trying to learn the content. They help one another in pursuit of understanding the mathematical principles. They are curious about the subject and ask questions that push the content to be beyond the scope of the lesson. At times they have hard days which puts them in a mindset that leaves them less receptive to learning.

My hope is to help them build a foundational understanding of mathematics through legos to close their gaps in math, while providing supplements to relieve anxiety.

With legos, I intend to connect mathematical expressions and equations to physical designs of the legos as a way to provide access to hands on learning of math for students who struggle to understand the conceptual definitions. Knowing mental health is a critical factor to engaging students, I have requested some fidgets for them to be able to use to help them focus better and relieve any stress barring them from staying focused on the lesson.
