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

We are a Title I school, which means the majority of my students are on free lunch due to family low income. They come from different background and cultures. Many of them speak only Spanish and are quickly learning English.

Despite the many daily challenges they face in and out of school, my 44 students come to class eager to explore and learn.

Many of my students have not visited museums, go to theaters or travel. Therefore they possess poor background knowledge, and they are having a hard time understanding word problems. They lack the prior knowledge necessary to picture it.

My Project

The IPEVO will be used everyday in our class to show objects and images which are going to help students to picture different scenarios which are introduced in a variety of word problems.

This device will minimize the negative effect that poor background information has on the problem solving process.

As a teacher, it will allow me to show problems instead of recopying them which will increase my precious teaching time. As I show step by step problem solutions, it will help students to learn from their mistakes or just to be proud of how well they solved a particular problem which will result into a better self-esteem development.
