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

Math can be a difficult subject to master in the best of circumstances. The closures due to the pandemic, however, have led many of my 6th-grade math students to miss out on critical instruction. This does not mean that now is the time to double down on drill and kill methods. In contrast, students need to be shown the beautiful, interconnected, and visual nature of mathematics so that they can develop both the procedural proficiency and conceptual understanding of the math they need to thrive in an increasingly quantitative world. My students understand this and love to explore math through hands-on activities.

They have endless curiosity and recognize that the power to explore the world is at their fingertips.

These students amaze and inspire me to find ways to nurture their sincere desires to discover. In order to ensure these bright, wonderful kids get to experience the wonders of the world today and in their futures, it is imperative that their quantitative reasoning capacities are continuously being developed.

My Project

These materials will help students master NVACS.Math.6.NS.A to build towards mastery of dividing fractions by working on the foundational skills many missed during the pandemic such as multiplication and division fluency as well as developing conceptual understanding of fraction multiplication. Students will also use these materials to work towards mastery of NVACS.Math.6.RP.A.3.C to be able to work with percentages. To do so, the materials will help them to understand the foundational skills of fraction conversion to decimals and then connect that to percentages.

After a year online, students need math instruction that is hands-on and visual.

This will help them to develop the quantitative skills they need to thrive now and in the future.
