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

I am a math interventionist at a Title-1 school that serves primarily students from low-income and Latinx and African American backgrounds. My students struggle in Math class and are behind grade level. I pull students out of class to teach them math strategies that will help them get access grade level content.

In order to make my lessons engaging for students, I need manipulatives that they can get their hands on to make the learning more concrete and visual.

I also need your help to purchase materials I can send home with students to continue practicing. With lots of fluency practice and a little fun, I can support students to foster a love of mathematics!
