The Battleship games you funded have completely transformed how they view math. Instead of just plotting points on worksheets, students are now eagerly calling out coordinates, checking their opponents' moves, and using strategy to \"sink ships\" — all while practicing essential math skills.\r\n\r\nThis project has made a tremendous difference in building confidence and excitement for math. Students who once hesitated to graph points are now leading their groups, explaining the x- and y-axes with ease, and cheering each other on. The laughter and focus during each round show just how powerful learning through play can be.\r\n\r\nYour generosity turned our classroom into a place where learning math feels like an adventure.
