In a sixth-grade math classroom, we are continuously working through difficult topics like Least Common Multiple (LCM) and Greatest Common Factor (GCF), which genuinely need a physical workspace for kids to visualize the math. Prior to your gift, I frequently had to locate a functional printer in a different building wing or restrict the practical activities I could offer. You have made it possible for me to provide my students with high-quality resources at the exact moment they need them, such as factor trees and multicolored number lines.\r\n\r\nFor our units on fractions, decimals, and integers, this printer is completely a game changer. These are some of the most challenging \"bridge\" subjects in middle school, and it makes a huge difference to be able to print out precise visual models for dividing decimals or clear, crisp coordinate planes for integer graphing. Giving my children individualized practice papers and \"math menus\" helps them develop a level of confidence that a computerized screen just cannot match because they are at a critical age where they are moving from basic arithmetic to algebraic thinking.\r\n\r\nI am grateful for your investment in our classroom and for showing to my studenrs that the entire community is rooting for their success. We can spend more time learning the numbers and less time worrying about supplies thanks to your generosity!","fullyFundedDate":1758820671889,"projectUrl":"project/printing-our-way-to-math-success/9715249/","projectTitle":"Printing Our Way to Math Success","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. ORO","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10262024"},{"teacherId":9479379,"projectId":9460531,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for donating to our classroom. It really helped a lot. The blocks we used it when we were describing equality to kids and moving blocks from one side of the equal sign to the other. We also used the geoboards during graphing linear equations. It really helped make our abstract concepts become concrete and tangible. The calculators were a big hit when it comes to solving. The kids are still needing practice when it comes to multiplication but with the help of the calculators, they are solving equations with ease and with confidence.","fullyFundedDate":1757649262199,"projectUrl":"project/empowering-our-8th-graders-with-hands-on/9460531/","projectTitle":"Empowering Our 8th Graders with Hands-On Math!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Oracion","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9479379_orig.jpg?crop=1221,1221,x0,y109&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1752382725279","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9479379"},{"teacherId":9717226,"projectId":8720398,"letterContent":"I would like to extend a huge thank you for the generous donations that helped us complete our \"You Belong Here\" project.
