Math 'Thinking Classroom' Tools
Funded Mar 24, 2024Thank you so much for supporting our "thinking classrooms". This past spring we were able to set-up and try out some of the thinking strategies from the books using the materials you supported us with. It was so amazing to hear the elevated discussions that came from students using just a few of these techniques. We had students who weren't usually engaged in discussions, stepping up and taking lead! We're super exited to continue to read though the book and try on more of these strategies this year and are really looking forward to the results.”

Leveled Math Center Activities!
Funded Jun 26, 2024I'm so excited about these math fluency kits for the kindergarten students here! As we finish up our fall round of math interviews to see what students know, we're making plans to put these kits into action for our small group rotations. This will ensure students are able to practice their counting and basic addition/subtraction throughout the year.
Our team is currently using some of the activities with current 1st graders who need a little review/practice with counting and they're having fun with them. The kits are well made with activities that once done with a teacher could be student led/initiated which is perfect for small group rotation time where the teacher is meeting with students.
Thank you for funding this project and we're looking forward to getting some more of these kits for other grades!”

Support Math Joy!
Funded Nov 28, 2023Thank you for supporting materials for our math stations and groups. The students have been excited about the 'shiny' whiteboards, colored markers and erasers. We've been putting these to a lot of use when playing math games with the different dice. They have also been impressed with how many different dice games you can play and have gotten quite competitive. These materials have supported our ability to improve their foundational math skills. We will also be using many of the materials for our upcoming PI night family event. I'm excited to be able to share some math joy with our students and families.”
