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

Everyone loves games and its even better if students are learning math skills while playing! The students at my school are superstar mathematicians. These materials will powerfully engage the students in core skills and make math exciting.

3rd grade is an exciting year for math!

It is important to bring the students up to date and give them resources that are 21st century tools. These resources such as Multiplication Power Pen and Building Fractions Activity Center will allow the students to learn through different modalities of learning. The more options the students have, the more effective their learning will be.
