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

All students love to use dice. There are so many senses used when rolling them. They can see, feel, and hear them which in turn naturally has them more involved with what they're doing.

There are many interesting features of dice that kids can find.

After using various dice the students will use the blank ones to create their own math games and discoveries. By sharing what they have found it will reinforce the principles they need for part of future probability and statistic units. They will be learning while having fun.
