Learning to Love Math

Funded Aug 3, 2023

The whiteboards are a big hit in my classroom. We use them every single day in both writing and math! The children practice writing high frequency words and sounds during writing, and during math we warm up with a practice problem on the whiteboards. They have been so beneficial and helpful in the kiddos learning.

The dice are another great hit! We also use them during writing and math! They use the dice in writing by rolling the dice and determining which word to write based off a key. They love it! It adds an aspect of fun and hands-on to their learning! During math, we use the dice to do addition and count. They love having materials to use while learning!

The snapcubes have been a game changer in my children's learning of math. We have been working on some challenging math concepts and the addition of this math material have made it so much easier for my children to learn and understand these concepts. They use them to show addition, subtraction, teen numbers, the list goes on and on!

As soon as I opened up the whiteboards the children's faces lit up! They were so excited to get their hands on the whiteboards to show their learning. I have seen how much more motivated they are when they are using the whiteboards.

The snapcubes sit with them all the time in their 'math tool kits'. I see the kids using them often when they are taking on a challenging problem.

These materials have truly made such a difference within my classroom. I cannot even begin to express how thankful I am and how thankful my children are. Being a first year teacher is hard, but being a first year teacher without these materials would have been even harder. Thank you for supporting teachers in such a challenging time for educators. Some days are really challenging, but the support from people like you help bring brightness and joy to the most challenging days. Thank you, thank you, thank you, from the bottom of my heart.”
