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 goal is to always promote active participation and engagement during our lessons, in order to build confidence in the Math classroom.

Dry erase board paper will allow students to practice problems, brainstorm ideas, and showcase their solutions on a portable whiteboard.

It can be easily attached to any surface and serves as an excellent tool for collaborative learning. Pencils will be trusty companions for note-taking, calculations, and sketching diagrams. They provide precision and flexibility, enabling students to solve math problems efficiently. The markers will be used to write on the dry erase board paper. They come in vibrant colors, making it easier to differentiate between different concepts, highlight important points, and make work visually appealing. Pencil cases to keep pencils, markers, and other small math-related tools organized. These cases will help ensure that materials are easily accessible and prevent any misplacement or damage.

By providing my students with these materials, I aim to create a more interactive and immersive classroom environment. They will have the opportunity to actively participate in problem-solving, share solutions with peers, and collaborate effectively.
