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

Our students come in like little sponges - ready to soak up all we have to teach them, regardless of their starting points. I'm looking forward to a new year with bright shiny faces depending on me!

Most children come from low-income families and the entire district gets free breakfast and lunch.

The situations the children come from do not provide them with an educational foundation however, their willingness and excitement about learning are not diminished. Although the students come from neighborhoods all over the city, we have a safe learning community that everyone contributes to.

My Project

The use of manipulatives, such as counters and number lines, helps students hone their mathematical thinking skills. Using manipulatives helps teach students sorting, ordering, and pattern recognition. They help with the comprehension of mathematical operations-addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

The effective use of manipulatives can help students connect ideas and integrate their knowledge so that they gain a deep understanding of mathematical concepts.

Students will recognize relationships between operations, explore and develop spatial memory, and engage in problem-solving.

Through the everyday use of these tools, students will gain confidence in their math knowledge and be able to communicate math concepts effectively.
