Your contribution is not just funding materials; it is investing in confidence, curiosity, and the belief that they can succeed in STEM.\r\n\r\nMy students are already eager to explore, collaborate, and discover. Your generosity has made this possible, and we appreciate you more than words can express. Thank you for believing in our classroom and for helping us build a brighter future—one equation, one project, and one child at a time.\r\n\r\nThe materials from \"STEM in ACTION: Algebra Moves, Grows, and Builds the Future\" have already transformed the way my students experience math in our classroom. Many of our donors use technology every day, but the way we use these tools in school goes far beyond convenience—it creates access, engagement, and deeper understanding for students who often struggle to see themselves as successful in math.\r\n\r\nWith these resources, my students are now able to visualize algebraic concepts, collaborate on hands-on challenges, and apply mathematical thinking to real-world problems. Tools that allow them to move, build, measure, and model ideas have made lessons more interactive and meaningful. Instead of simply watching a demonstration, students are doing the math themselves, which has dramatically increased focus and participation.\r\n\r\nWhat excites them most is the sense of ownership and discovery. The moment they realize, \"I built this,\" \"I solved this,\" or \"I made this work,\" their confidence grows. Students who were once quiet or hesitant to engage are now volunteering answers, leading discussions, and challenging themselves to try harder problems.\r\n\r\nOne student in particular—who previously struggled with confidence in math—has truly blossomed. After using the new materials during a hands-on inequalities activity, she proudly announced, \"Now I understand it! Can we do more like this?\" She has become more enthusiastic, more curious, and more willing to take risks in her learning. She is not alone; many others have shown similar growth.\r\n\r\nThanks to your generosity, algebra in our classroom is no longer abstract or intimidating. It is active, creative, and empowering. You have given my students the chance to learn in ways that spark joy, curiosity, and future possibilities. We are deeply grateful for your support and your belief in their success.","fullyFundedDate":1761917257978,"projectUrl":"project/stem-in-action-algebra-moves-grows-an/9689425/","projectTitle":"STEM in ACTION: Algebra Moves, Grows, and Builds the Future","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Acosta","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9692378"},{"teacherId":9692378,"projectId":9732575,"letterContent":"Thank you for believing in my students and for supporting \"Equity in Action: Graphing Success in Algebra 1 and 2.\" Your donation means that all of my learners—no matter their background—now have access to the hands-on materials they need to better understand graphs, functions, and real-world problem solving. My classroom is already buzzing with excitement, and your gift has empowered students who often feel left behind in math. We appreciate you more than you know!\r\n\r\nThanks to your generosity, the new graphing tools and instructional materials have already transformed learning in our Algebra 1 and 2 classroom. My students are using these resources daily to explore linear and nonlinear relationships, create accurate graphs, and make sense of the patterns they see in real-world problems. One of our first activities involved a \"Graphing Gallery Walk,\" where students used the new coordinate grids and manipulatives to create visual representations of different functions and then explained their reasoning to classmates. Watching them move around the room confidently—pointing out slopes, intercepts, and changes in rate—was a powerful reminder of why these materials matter.\r\n\r\nTheir reaction when the resources first arrived was pure excitement. Many students immediately asked if they could start graphing right away. For several students who have struggled with math in the past, having hands-on tools made the content feel more understandable and less intimidating. A few even said, \"Now I actually get this!\" Moments like these show just how important access and equity are in the classroom.\r\nWith a stronger foundation in graphing, our next steps involve applying these skills to more complex concepts such as systems of equations, quadratic functions, and real-world data analysis. Students will soon begin a collaborative project where they gather their own data, graph it using the new materials, and present their findings. Your support has made it possible for them not only to learn these skills, but to experience math in a way that feels interactive, engaging, and meaningful.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in my students and for helping build a more equitable learning environment.
