There are interesting facts about STEM careers and the US Hispanics. I didn’t know all this information like for example:
- By 2040, Hispanics are expected to account for 30 percent of the U.S. population. However, Hispanic participation in STEM careers is way below desired levels.
- According to data from the Higher Education Research Institute (2010), only 16 percent of Hispanic students who began college in 2004 as STEM majors completed a STEM degree by 2009, compared to 25 percent of non-Hispanic White students.
I will have to be more aware and inspire more love and interest for some of the STEM skill, making them fun for the kids, at least it won’t be hard because I LOVE Math, did you know it was my favorite subject in school? Math!
Matemonstrous will air from Monday to Friday at 5pm Eastern time – 2pm Pacific time, it started this past Monday August 26
Check out a little preview of the show in the video below, Matemonstrous’ main characters Max, Lily and Gú, along with the children will learn to solve day to day problems using math skills. They will do counting, measuring, sizing, sorting and exploring shapes and patterns.
Along with the show, during the programming it will include informative shorts: Back to School with Jeannette Torres, in which Jeannette, an expert in early childhood education and the network’s official brand ambassador shares useful tips for easing the transition and returning to routine.
A Branded Discovery Familia Goody Bag plus one (1) $20 Target gift card. Enter on the Rafflecopter at the bottom of the post.

Ya Adrian empieza el colegio la semana que viene, yey!!! Finalmente! Estoy emocionada de ver que es lo que va a aprender ahora, ya se que es sólo 1er grado pero aquí es donde todo empieza no? Y ahí es donde viene el nuevo show Matemonstrous de Discovery Familia (Ya les había hablado brevemente de este show aquí hace como una semana). El show tiene un grupo de criaturas con una misión muy clara: despertar en los niños el interés por la matemática desde una temprana edad.
Discovery Familia es un canal que cree en la importancia de incentivar en nuestros niños el amor por las carreras STEM (Ciencia, Tecnología, Ingeniería y Matemáticas) desde temprana edad. Todos sus shows son educativos y en español.
- Se estima que para el 2040 los hispanos representaremos el 30% de la población de Estados Unidos. Sin embargo, la participación de los hispanos en carreras STEM está muy por debajo de los niveles deseados
- Según datos del Instituto de Investigaciones de Educación Superior (2010), sólo el 16% de los estudiantes hispanos que comenzaron carreras STEM en 2004 obtuvieron sus títulos universitarios en 2009, comparado con el 25% de los estudiantes blancos (no hispanos).
Tendré que estar más pendiente e inspirar el amor y el interés por las destrezas STEM, haciéndolas más divertidas para los niñitos, no creo que sea dificil con las matemáticas porque a mi me ENCANTA, saben cuál era mi materia favorita? Las matemáticas!
Matemonstrous se emitirá de lunes a viernes a las 5pm ET – 2pm PT, empezó este lunes 26 de agosto.
Aclaratoria: Este post es parte de una campaña patrocinada con Latina Mom Bloggers y Discovery Familia. Como siempre todas las ideas, cuentos y opiniones son 100% mías y nunca editados por terceros.

September 10, 2013 at 7:47 pmA mis hijos desde pequenos les encanta ciencia, porque descubrimos muchas cosas con juegos de mesa de laboratorio, asi como los llevo a la biblioteca y eventos de discovery science, y las matematicas las hacen divertidas en su escuela relacionando objetos cotidianos con distintas operaciones.

September 12, 2013 at 2:56 amWe love to use math each day whenever we can….like counting things when we are out and about….even counting stairs…or anything. We also love to do lots of fun science experiments at home!

September 13, 2013 at 9:22 pmFor my youngest she play games that are educational in nature to help her get interested in math and science and she also does her "homework" with her older siblings and works on her numbers and counting while they are completing their work so she feels grown up like them.

September 14, 2013 at 2:20 amI usually make it something fun so I use food a lot. When I am baking we have made mini cupcake volcanoes with chocolate fudge for lava. When it is match I do everything from counting vegetables in our garden before I use them to how to measure things like liquids.
