Math Mania

Funded Oct 19, 2023

Thank you so much for donating to my classroom! I teach a STEM class in a low income school. The students are very bright, but the resources are very limited. The students have used your donation supplies to help create carnival game projects for their probability unit. They are creating the games and calculating the possible probabilities for their games and their peers' games. Students are loving the additional supplies that are helping their projects come to life.

They are also using the magatiles for our volume unit. They are creating structures and then using their new math knowledge to calculate the surface area and volume of their structures. They then are asked to see if they can increase/decrease their volume using the same tiles. They are having so much fun with this hands on learning, thanks to your donation!

My student were shocked to hear that United Airlines purchased these items. They could not believe that a huge airline company would care enough about a random group of students to pay for these classroom manipulatives. They give classroom shout-outs to United Airlines every time they use them in the classroom! "THANK YOU UNITED AIRLINES!!"

We are planning to continue using these materials in units next semester. Thank you SO much for adding some joy to our classroom!”

With gratitude,

Mrs. Terpstra
