Count Down! Math Games

Funded Sep 3, 2009

Thank you again for enriching the educational experience of my students. Without your help I would not be able to provide for them some of the fun, meaningful activities that other students are able to receive at home with their families. Playing these games has taught my kids much more than math, they're able to socialize, learn turn taking, and become good winners and good losers.

At first I was disappointed that the original game I requested was no longer available. After some research I was able to find many fabulous games that cover a broad range of topics and abilities. Students are now able to self-select games that are challenging and enjoyable. My students have thoroughly enjoyed the variety of games, probably more than they would have the monotony of the same game. Other teachers have also been able to come and borrow games from our room so that their students can benefit from your gift as well.

This year I was concerned with state test scores, but my students have done VERY well! I know that their excitement over the math games has transferred to an excitement over math in general. Your generosity has helped my students become more successful and able to reach the challenges they will encounter next year in middle school and beyond. ”

With gratitude,

Mrs. De Bow
