Because of your kindness, our students have had the opportunity to use base ten blocks to truly see and understand place value in a hands-on way. Instead of just memorizing steps, they are building numbers with hundreds, tens, and ones, physically combining and separating units as they add and subtract. This concrete experience has helped them grasp why digits shift places and what regrouping really means, turning abstract concepts into something meaningful and clear.\r\n\r\nWith the base ten blocks, students are confidently solving addition and subtraction problems with regrouping by trading ten ones for a ten or a hundred for ten tens right before their eyes. They are more engaged, asking deeper questions, and explaining their thinking using math vocabulary. Your generosity has strengthened their number sense and built a strong foundation that will support them in all future math learning.
