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

Tetris Tumble XL promotes critical math skills such as spatial reasoning, pattern recognition, and geometric thinking, while also fostering teamwork, problem-solving, and emotional regulation. By solving 3D puzzles, students will improve their ability to visualize, plan, and think strategically. The game reinforces key math concepts like shapes, rotation, and geometry in an interactive and engaging way.

Team-based challenges within the game encourage collaboration, communication, and emotional resilience.

Students will have opportunities to work together to solve puzzles, manage frustration, and build confidence. These skills extend beyond math, helping students grow academically and socially.

The resources will be used in math lessons, group activities, and as rewards for celebrating students' hard work. With these materials, students will gain the confidence they need to tackle more complex math problems and build a strong foundation for their academic success.

Thank you for considering this project! Any donation will help provide my students with the tools they need to develop essential math skills and make learning more enjoyable and effective.
