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 students love it when it is their turn to try and practice their critical thinking and logic math puzzles during our math rotation stations. The students get an opportunity to take risks, think logically and differently, and solve problems for a short time every day. The students gain new ways to attack math problems and they learn to take new risks when problem solving.

The goal is to have my students try a new approach to solving math problems using logic.

The Tetra Tower Balance Stacking Blocks will enable them to practice logic skills while building stamina. They will use items like the Roxenda Speed Cubes to critically think as they work to solve them along with a variety of math puzzles. All of these items will help with developing problem-solving skills.
