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

I teach 5th grade math for 3 classrooms at my school. The fifth graders are curious, witty, and charming. They are filled with an energy that is inspiring and contagious. My 5th graders relate extremely well to a world that is increasingly saturated by technology. They love their games and apps; "Among Us", "Tic-Toc", "Instagram", and "Snapchat" to name but a few. Technology will always be a part of their lives.

My students understand that an education is, by far, the key to succeeding in life.

We talk about that every day before class. My students are children of immigrant families from Mexico, Guatemala, Bolivia, and the Middle East. Many of my students' parents work humble jobs such as car-wash attendant, waitress, cook, and cashier. The students have mentioned that they will one day help their parents so that they don't have to work so hard and feel so tired.

A key to their success will be our ability as teachers to relate to their culture, their needs, and their interests (technology included). Our students will never care how much we know until they know how much we care.

My Project

Math is not one dimensional. It is 3-dimensional. That is why my students really enjoy working on math programs on school issued laptops. My students also engage in technology and other apps on their tablets and phones outside of school. They engage with technology because they live in a technology-saturated world. To learn Math, they need to be just as engaged and interested in the concepts being taught via the use of technology in the classroom.

A 65" Smart TV will allow the entire classroom to easily view engaging math apps, videos, and teaching programs in 3-Dimensions rather than looking at a boring one-dimensional white-board presentation.

I have a plethora of apps and teaching programs available for running from my "IPad Pro" onto a TV screen via Wifi. The students thoroughly enjoy technology and the TV will allow math to be taught using a medium the students are familiar with, comfortable with, and easily engage with. I can already imagine how a 3-Dimensional presentation on a large screen TV in the classroom, complete with sound, will capture the attention of students while they learn math! Learning math will no longer be a chore nor a source of anxiety for them but rather a fun activity in a whole group presentation.
