The new math resources you helped provide have truly energized our classroom and deepened our students' engagement with learning.\r\nWhen my students first saw the materials, especially the hands-on manipulatives and visual aids, they were thrilled. One student said, \"Now I can actually see what the numbers are doing!\" That moment captured the excitement and curiosity your gift sparked.\r\nWe've already put the materials to great use. Recently, during our unit on fractions and ratios, students used fraction tiles and number lines to explore equivalency and comparison. In one project, they worked in small groups to design \"math menus\" for imaginary restaurants, calculating prices, discounts, and proportions. It was amazing to see them apply math in a real-world context while collaborating and problem-solving.\r\nNext, we're diving into a geometry unit where students will use the new tools to explore shapes, angles, and measurement. They'll be creating scale models of classroom objects and using protractors and rulers to analyze symmetry and area. These resources are helping us move beyond worksheets and into meaningful, hands-on learning.\r\nYour support has made all of this possible. Thank you for being part of our classroom's journey. We're excited to keep building mathematical confidence and creativity, one lesson at a time.","fullyFundedDate":1758898804450,"projectUrl":"project/count-on-us-as-we-create-a-welcoming-mat/9612573/","projectTitle":"Count on Us as We Create a Welcoming Math Space","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Abdulla","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10182762_orig.jpg?crop=2677,2677,x0,y124&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1755371619951","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10182762"},{"teacherId":10235330,"projectId":9670170,"letterContent":"My students were able to use the supplies to create letters to their future selves.

The laminator is being used around the room to make whiteboards, create decorations, and secure materials on their desks. The pins are being used to hang things around the room for display, and are especially useful with the new bulletin board being installed.","fullyFundedDate":1756762090979,"projectUrl":"project/first-year-teacher-basic-supplies-neede/9670170/","projectTitle":"First Year Teacher!

One unforgettable moment was during a lesson on fractions, where students used the fraction tiles to visualize and compare different values. Seeing the light bulbs go off as they physically manipulated the pieces to solve problems was incredibly rewarding. These hands-on tools have transformed the way we approach math, making abstract concepts more concrete and engaging. Right now, we're moving into a unit on multi-step word problems, and students are using the new resources to break down problems collaboratively and explain their thinking with confidence. Thanks to your generosity, our math classroom is now a space filled with energy, curiosity, and meaningful learning.","fullyFundedDate":1757423421185,"projectUrl":"project/classroom-supplies/9677677/","projectTitle":"Classroom Supplies","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Kourouma","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10239196"},{"teacherId":6209145,"projectId":8991329,"letterContent":"Thank you very much for your generous donation!

I wanted to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude for your generosity in providing my students with two whiteboards, a printer, and dry-erase markers.\r\n\r\nOne of the most exciting aspects for my students has been the ability to showcase their work and explain their reasoning to their classmates. While I mostly use the whiteboard for giving lectures and student note-taking, I have also begun experimenting with using the whiteboards to showcase student work and for group challenges, which have made math feel more like an exciting game than a routine exercise. \r\n\r\nThe addition of a printer has also been a game-changer. It has allowed me to save so much time; time spent helping my students improve their math skills, rather than time spent trying to get a communal printer to work. For many students, having physical copies of their work makes a big difference in their understanding and retention of key concepts.\r\n\r\nThank you for investing in my students' education and helping to make our classroom a place where learning is engaging, collaborative, and fun.","fullyFundedDate":1734468043944,"projectUrl":"project/mr-huangs-math-class-needs-a-whiteboar/8974695/","projectTitle":"Mr. Huang's Math Class needs a Whiteboard and Printer","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Huang","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9849770"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_371","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":467,"numTeachers":83,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":17,"percentBlack":17,"percentWhite":3,"percentIndigenous":3,"percentLatinx":56,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"5.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":54.5,"schoolId":371,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Junior High School 118 William W Niles on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Junior High School 118 William W Niles","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-york/new-york-city-dept-of-ed/jhs-118-william-w-niles/371"}
