These resources have brought new energy and excitement into our classroom, giving students meaningful ways to explore mathematical concepts beyond pencil and paper. The books introduce key skills such as problem-solving strategies, number sense, fractions, and geometric thinking through engaging real-world examples. The manipulatives help students visualize abstract ideas, making it easier for them to understand and explain their thinking.\r\n\r\nIn our classroom, reading math-related texts looks interactive and collaborative. Students read in pairs or small groups, discuss strategies, and often use the manipulatives to model what they are reading about. We see students pointing to diagrams, justifying their answers aloud, and revising their thinking based on evidence from the text. It has turned math time into a space for conversation, curiosity, and deeper understanding.\r\n\r\nMany students who previously hesitated to participate are now more engaged because they can \"see\" the math in action. In particular, students who benefit from visual and hands-on learning have really thrived with these materials. They are more confident sharing ideas and are beginning to see themselves as capable mathematicians. Your support has made math more accessible, enjoyable, and meaningful for every learner in our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1751823203172,"projectUrl":"project/math-fun/9445950/","projectTitle":"Math Fun!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Schlottog","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8581426_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1750297353055","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8581426"},{"teacherId":8581426,"projectId":9392184,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting our project, \"Empowering Young Mathematicians With the Tools They Need to Succeed.\" Your generosity has provided our students with valuable resources that are helping make math more engaging, accessible, and interactive each day. Students are using these materials during independent practice, small-group instruction, and collaborative problem-solving activities. One especially memorable classroom moment was watching students confidently work together to solve multi-step problems while using the new tools to explain their mathematical thinking to one another. The resources have encouraged greater participation and have helped students feel more successful during lessons.\r\n\r\nWhen the materials first arrived, students were genuinely excited and eager to begin using them right away. Many students immediately began exploring the resources, asking thoughtful questions, and sharing strategies with classmates. Several students who are usually hesitant during math instruction became more willing to participate because the new tools helped build their confidence and understanding. It has been wonderful to see students take pride in their work and become more engaged learners.\r\n\r\nAs we continue through the school year, students will use these resources to strengthen their problem-solving, reasoning, and critical-thinking skills during upcoming math units and collaborative projects. We are excited to continue building a classroom environment where students feel supported, challenged, and empowered to grow as mathematicians. Thank you again for investing in our students and helping provide opportunities that will have a lasting impact on their learning experience.","fullyFundedDate":1748920386884,"projectUrl":"project/empowering-young-mathematicians-with-the/9392184/","projectTitle":"Empowering Young Mathematicians With the Tools They Need to Succeed","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Schlottog","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8581426_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1750297353055","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8581426"},{"teacherId":8581426,"projectId":10160817,"letterContent":"Thank you for your generous support of our \"Basic Calculators\" project. Your contributions have provided our students with an important tool that supports both confidence and accuracy in mathematics. The calculators are helping students focus more deeply on mathematical reasoning, problem-solving, and understanding concepts rather than becoming overwhelmed by computation alone. Having consistent access to calculators during lessons has allowed students to participate more independently and engage more fully in classroom activities.\r\n\r\nStudents were very excited to receive the calculators and immediately began using them during practice activities and group work. For many students, having their own calculator available has made them feel more prepared and confident during class. Several students who previously hesitated to attempt multi-step problems have become more willing to participate because the calculators help reduce anxiety around calculations and allow them to check their work independently. It has also encouraged students to take greater ownership of their learning and problem-solving process.\r\n\r\nThis project has made a meaningful difference in our classroom by providing students with accessible tools that support engagement, persistence, and mathematical growth.

The new technology has allowed students to participate more actively during lessons, practice important skills independently, and receive immediate feedback that helps strengthen their understanding. In math, students are able to work through problems at their own pace while also using interactive tools that make abstract concepts more visual and easier to understand. The technology has also encouraged greater collaboration, problem-solving, and confidence among students who may have previously been hesitant to participate.\r\n\r\nOne of the most exciting aspects for students has been the interactive and hands-on nature of the smart board. Many students are highly motivated by the ability to learn through engaging activities, educational games, and digital practice that feels both fun and meaningful. Students who sometimes struggle to stay focused during traditional instruction have shown increased attention and persistence when using these tools. Several students who were previously reluctant to ask questions or participate aloud have become more willing to take academic risks because the technology provides a supportive environment where they can practice and learn from mistakes privately.\r\n\r\nThis project has made a meaningful difference in our classroom community. Students are not only building stronger academic skills, but they are also developing important technology and critical-thinking skills that will benefit them far beyond this school year. The excitement and enthusiasm students show when using these resources is a daily reminder of how impactful donor support can be. We are incredibly grateful for the opportunity to provide our students with engaging learning experiences that help them grow both academically and personally.","fullyFundedDate":1764538450599,"projectUrl":"project/wishes-for-teachers-2025-2026-school-yea/9932935/","projectTitle":"Wishes for Teachers 2025-2026 School Year","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Schlottog","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8581426_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1750297353055","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8581426"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_110444","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":587,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":24,"percentAsian":22,"percentBlack":5,"percentWhite":45,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":15,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":9,"gradesServed":"6 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":100.0,"schoolId":110444,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Lincoln Preparatory Academy on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Lincoln Preparatory Academy","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/arizona/arizona-department-of-education/lincoln-preparatory-academy/110444"}
