The fraction kits, with their colorful pieces, allow my students to physically manipulate the fractions as they combine them, making the concept much clearer. I love watching their eyes light up when they realize that two fractions can come together to form a new one; it's like a little math magic happening right before their eyes! This hands-on approach not only helps them understand fractions better but also gives them the confidence to tackle more complex problems.\r\n\r\nMeanwhile, the long division dry erase boards have become a favorite tool during our math time. These boards allow my students to practice their long division skills repeatedly without wasting paper, and I've seen them take ownership of their learning in the process. They can quickly correct mistakes and try different strategies right there in front of me and their classmates, which fosters a collaborative atmosphere. It's fantastic to see them discussing their methods and helping each other out; math has become not just a subject to learn, but a fun and interactive community experience. These tools have truly made a difference in how my 5th graders approach math, turning challenges into exciting opportunities for growth.","fullyFundedDate":1755705113599,"projectUrl":"project/unlocking-math-potential-engaging-5th-g/9454738/","projectTitle":"Unlocking Math Potential: Engaging 5th Graders with Manipulatives","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Kunz","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9723149_orig.jpg?crop=1937,1937,x61,y995&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1750534254065","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9723149"},{"teacherId":1554468,"projectId":9495055,"letterContent":"Thank you so much on behalf of myself and my 2nd grade students for the classroom supplies and much needed items for a brand new school year!
