Now, with our Math Note materials, students can visually organize their thinking, refer back to key concepts, and take ownership of their learning. It's been incredible to see how this tool helps them make connections and build confidence in math.\r\n\r\nThe most exciting part for students has been the interactive and hands-on element of the resource. They love being able to highlight examples, add notes in their own words, and personalize their math pages. This makes math feel less intimidating and more like a puzzle they can solve on their own terms.\r\n\r\nOne student who has especially benefited is a quiet learner who often hesitated to participate during lessons. With the Math Note resource, they have become much more engaged—using it to review examples, check their understanding, and even help their classmates when they get stuck. Their confidence has grown so much that they now volunteers to explain her math thinking to the class!\r\n\r\nYour support has helped our classroom move beyond worksheets and memorization. You've given my students a meaningful way to connect with math and see themselves as capable, curious learners. Thank you for making that possible and for believing in their potential.","fullyFundedDate":1754962233086,"projectUrl":"project/solve-it-with-style-guided-notes-for-ma/9427375/","projectTitle":"Solve It with Style: Guided Notes for Math Success","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Templin","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7876004_orig.jpg?crop=2268,2268,x342,y171&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1685371535518","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7876004"},{"teacherId":6349339,"projectId":9463226,"letterContent":"When our ChompSaw arrived, the students were so eager to try it out!

It's given them the confidence to experiment with design ideas that would've been much harder to build before.\r\n\r\nThank you so much for supporting this project!
