The new math resources you provided are already making a huge difference in the way my students learn, practice, and talk about math.\r\n\r\nFrom the moment the materials arrived, my students were buzzing with excitement\r\nWe dove right into a hands-on math exploration using the new white boards, markers, and erasers. One of my favorite moments was during a small-group activity where students used them to model multi-step word problems. A student who usually hesitates to participate suddenly became the group leader—arranging pieces, explaining his thinking, and helping others understand the process. It was an amazing reminder of how the right tools can unlock confidence and create opportunities for students to shine.\r\n\r\nWe've also begun incorporating the resources into our daily math stations. Students are using them to practice number sense, build stronger problem-solving strategies, and visually explore concepts that were once abstract. These materials have boosted engagement, deepened understanding, and sparked meaningful conversations about math in ways I couldn't wait to share with you.\r\n\r\nAs for next steps, we're beginning a new unit that will allow students to use these tools to design and solve their own real-world math challenges. They'll be collaborating, testing ideas, and presenting their solutions to the class—skills that extend far beyond math.\r\n\r\nYour support didn't just supply materials; it brought energy, confidence, and curiosity into our classroom. We are deeply grateful. Please know that your generosity will continue to shape joyful learning moments throughout the year.","fullyFundedDate":1753662266231,"projectUrl":"project/empower-third-graders-with-new-whiteboar/9466605/","projectTitle":"Empower Third Graders with New Whiteboards!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Baker","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10044684_orig.png?crop=92,92,x0,y23&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1748382975366","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10044684"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_126124","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":925,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":18,"percentAsian":34,"percentBlack":18,"percentWhite":34,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":5,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":69.7,"schoolId":126124,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Hickory Ridge Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Hickory Ridge Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/north-carolina/cabarrus-county-school-district/hickory-ridge-elementary-school/126124"}
