  • Science Materials

    Funded Jul 11, 2023

    Thank you so much for supporting my classroom! My students are going to be so excited to use these new pieces of equipment for our science projects. The elementary educational environment plays a key role in student learning.

    High-quality elementary science education is essential for establishing a sound foundation of learning in later grades, instilling a wonder of and enthusiasm for science that lasts a lifetime, and in addressing the critical need for a well-informed citizenry and society. Science is a hands-on subject and my students were not getting the full experience, but thanks to your generosity we can now go exploring!”

    Ms. Grist

  • Classroom Supplies

    Funded Aug 2, 2023

    Thank you so much for being a continued supporter of my classroom! Basic supplies are everyday items that we use in the classroom. My students come from homes where these basic supplies are a struggle to get. With the help of wonderful donors like yourself, I am able to make sure my students have these supplies to succeed in the classroom. These items add up quickly when you have 25 students in a classroom, so any help that we get is appreciated. My students love getting the packages and seeing what new supplies they will get to use. We truly appreciate your generosity."”

  • Amazing Audio

    Funded Jun 20, 2023

    My students and I cannot begin to thank you enough for your donation to our classroom. Having a set of headphones will allow them to listen to materials being read on their individual level and block out surrounding sounds. Having access to the proper devices will help my students engage with the lesson and become more productive. The students enjoy seeing and learning from one another and having a working device will allow them to do so to their fullest potential. Thank you again so much for your generosity."”

  • Amazing Books

    Funded Jun 26, 2023

    Thank you so much for your continued support for my classroom. Books are such a wonderful item to have in the classroom and as a teacher books are a necessity. I try to share the love of reading with my students and it helps to have a variety of books for them to choose from. Everyone has different likes and dislikes, so having the opportunity to choose a book that you like means all the world to a child. Books will take you on many adventures, and to have these adventures you need to have lots of different books. My students appreciate these so much and we can't wait to travel to many different places. Thank you again from the bottom of my heart.”

  • Wireless Mouse

    Funded May 9, 2023

    Thank you so much for your donation to this project! These materials will directly help my students to improve their computer skills. Younger students have so much trouble navigating a laptop using a touch pad and these mice will make it so much easier for them! This is especially true for math assignments that require graph work. It is so much easier for them to use a wireless mouse to complete their work. With this donation, they will have one available for use whenever they need it. Thank you so much again for your generosity!”

  • Mathematical Resources

    Funded May 8, 2023

    Thank you for always supporting my classroom! Instructional resources for every child's level is hard to achieve without the opportunity to buy them myself. The Teacher Pay Teacher gift card is going to allow me to get resources for my ESL student, my students who are still working on Kindergarten math skills, and my students who are above grade level. During the year, these resources add up in costs, so this gift card will allow me to provide my students with other items they will need. Thank you for your continued generosity.”

  • Healthy Supplies

    Funded Mar 31, 2023

    Thank you for your continued support to my classroom! A healthy classroom makes for a successful classroom. This time of year is when we share all kinds of germs and with your help we will be able to cut down on that sharing. We teach the students that sharing is a positive thing to do, but not with illnesses. The weather is changing here in Ohio, and many of my students haven't changed their attire yet which is causing them to get sick. Thank you so much for helping keep us safe and healthy with these new supplies. We truly appreciate your generosity.”

Math facts are important because they form the building blocks for higher-level math concepts. When a child masters their math facts, these concepts will be significantly easier, and the student will be better equipped to solve them faster. Math fact fluency is the ability to quickly and accurately recall the answer to basic math facts. To be considered fluent, students should no longer need to rely on strategies such as counting on their fingers or drawing models to compute. In third grade, students must fluently add and subtract within 1000 using strategies and algorithms based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction. Knowing their math facts will allow them to answer questions more efficiently.
