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

Do you remember what it is like counting on your fingers or using pencil and paper to solve math problems? Well, many of my students use these same strategies to help them solve problems. They need a variety of manipulatives to engage them in learning and to make it fun.

My students consider themselves a remarkable bunch of fifth graders who have a passion for learning.

The students in my classroom range from a kindergarten level to above a sixth grade level. However, they all have one thing in common, the are trying to beat the odds of living in an underprivileged, poverty stricken neighborhood. These students wake up everyday, regardless of what the night had in store for them and come to school to learn and make a better life for themselves. But they can't do it alone. They need our help!

My Project

Math is one of the hardest subjects to learn. What makes it challenging for these students is the lack of manipulatives we have to help them succeed. Providing these students with simple manipulatives such as a deck of cards or dice will my students to take a hands-on approach to learning. They will be able to manipulate given mathematical problems and visualize the solution.

Paper and pencils are a thing of the past.

Students need manipulatives to help them solve math problems. Supporting this project will give my students the tools they need to succeed. These students are the future. Please help them reach their dreams.
