They loved being able to use colorful paper to make multiplication arrays, fraction art, and shape collages. Having the right materials made math feel more creative and hands-on, and their enthusiasm showed—they were fully engaged, sharing ideas, and proud to show off their work. Our next step is to take these skills even further by creating math-based art projects for our upcoming Open House. Students will design displays that show how math connects to art and everyday life, turning our classroom into a gallery of colorful, thoughtful projects to share with families!","fullyFundedDate":1752517690147,"projectUrl":"project/math-activity-paper/9372380/","projectTitle":"Math Activity Paper","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Schade","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9404860_orig.jpg?crop=2719,2719,x0,y453&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1709523514409","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9404860"},{"teacherId":9404860,"projectId":9208800,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donations!

My students have been so excited about our new books.

We have quiet reading time where students get lost in their books, as well as small-group discussions where they share their thoughts, predictions, and questions.
