They love being able to change the color of the cube the meet their personality. \r\n\r\nWe did change what we were doing with the cube. At first we tried matching the cups with numbers to another cup with dots. The students couldn't really see the dots as well as I had thought. We then changed it to using cards to pick a number and dinosaurs to count. The students really enjoyed this part.\r\n\r\nNow that we are counting objects, we are going to try adding the objects. They can see that if they have 5 dinosaurs on the left and then 2 dinosaurs on the right you can add them together to get 7. This was just an example.\r\n\r\nThank you again for fully funding my project, my students are learning having this component in the room to help them learn new math concepts.","fullyFundedDate":1756936271383,"projectUrl":"project/light-up-math-activities/9456768/","projectTitle":"Light Up Math Activities","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Marlow","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10075837_orig.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1752173633776","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10075837"},{"teacherId":9680811,"projectId":8665603,"letterContent":"Thank you for your generous donation that has funded a frog and squid dissection for our 8th grade students at Newberry Middle School.
