This was not only a creative endeavor but a real team effort—they dedicated time during class and spent countless hours after school bringing their vision to life.\r\nThe pride they felt seeing their hard work come alive on stage was incredible.

By rolling dice to create linear, exponential, or quadratic functions, students built tables, sketched graphs, and interpreted key features in a fun, game-based format.\r\n\r\n\r\nThis hands-on approach boosted engagement, collaboration, and critical thinking. Even hesitant learners were excited to participate, explain their reasoning, and see how small changes affect a graph. \r\n\r\nThanks to these materials, math felt interactive, memorable, and accessible for every student.","fullyFundedDate":1633921296322,"projectUrl":"project/fun-with-math/5895513/","projectTitle":"Fun with Math!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Ciarlo","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5635280_orig.png?crop=470,470,x0,y25&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1758509128438","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5635280"},{"teacherId":8125507,"projectId":7979269,"letterContent":"The geometry supplies have changed the way my students learn.

The colorful figures and hands-on tools keep lessons engaging and help students feel more confident and excited about math. \r\n\r\nMost importantly, these resources have helped shift my students' view of math.

Tutors used the materials for interactive problem-solving, and one student even confidently explained an algebra solution using sticky notes—a real breakthrough moment!\r\n\r\nNext, we'll continue using these resources for collaborative lessons in geometry and pre-algebra, helping students build confidence, teamwork, and problem-solving skills.

Having access to recycled materials has allowed us to continue practicing essential skills without the guilt of using more than we need.\r\n\r\nIn addition to paper, the reusable supplies you provided have made a huge impact in our daily lessons. Students use Expo markers, erasers, and whiteboard cleaner to practice Spanish in real time — from conjugating verbs and writing questions to playing review games together.
