Because of your generosity, my students now have access to engaging math visuals, hands-on manipulatives, and interactive games that are already making a meaningful difference in their learning.\r\nMany of my students learn best when they can see and touch math concepts. The visuals help break down abstract ideas, while the manipulatives allow students to explore numbers, fractions, and problem-solving in a concrete way. The games have been especially powerful with math fact fluency. They motivate students, build confidence, and turn math practice into an enjoyable experience rather than a stressful one. Fruit Fractions and the Tower games have been student favorites thus far. \r\nSince using these materials, I have seen increased participation, improved understanding, and growing confidence in students who previously struggled with math. Your support has helped create a classroom environment where students feel successful, supported, and excited to learn.\r\nThank you for believing in my students and investing in their education. Your kindness and generosity are truly appreciated, and your impact will be felt every day in our classroom.\r\nWith sincere gratitude,\r\nMrs. Bruzik\r\n6th Grade Survey of Math Teacher\r\nand My Grateful Students","fullyFundedDate":1762265358935,"projectUrl":"project/making-math-fun/9623830/","projectTitle":"Making Math Fun!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Bruzik","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8055446"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_43776","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":671,"numTeachers":67,"percentFrplEligible":27,"percentAsian":4,"percentBlack":2,"percentWhite":73,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":12,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"10.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":75.8,"schoolId":43776,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Joseph A DePaolo Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Joseph A DePaolo Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/connecticut/southington-public-schools/joseph-a-depaolo-middle-school/43776"}
