Having these materials available allows me to create activities where students can work together, practice skills, and see how the math we are learning connects to real-life situations.\r\n\r\nWhen my students first saw the new materials, they were excited to have new tools and resources to use in the classroom. It was especially rewarding to see students who don't always get excited about math become curious and eager to participate. The materials have helped create a more positive and interactive classroom environment where students feel comfortable trying, making mistakes, and learning from one another.\r\n\r\nOur next steps are to continue using these resources as we work through our current Algebra 2 lessons. Students will be applying the skills they are learning to collaborative activities and problem-solving tasks. I am excited to continue giving them opportunities to work together, build confidence, and understand that mathematics is more than just completing problems on a worksheet. These resources are helping my students become more engaged, confident, and successful mathematicians.","fullyFundedDate":1778225480741,"projectUrl":"project/mathin-classroom/10057094/","projectTitle":"Mathin' Classroom!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Volkman","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3159503_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1617835289756","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-volkman"},{"teacherId":3159503,"projectId":9758671,"letterContent":"Receiving a printer for our classroom has made a meaningful difference in how my students learn and engage every day. While many donors use printers at home, in a classroom setting this tool becomes a bridge between digital learning and hands-on understanding.\r\n\r\nThe printer allows me to quickly provide students with immediate access to materials—whether it's guided notes, practice worksheets, graphic organizers, or review activities. Instead of waiting or going without, students can actively follow along, annotate, and interact with content in real time. This is especially important in math, where showing work, writing steps, and practicing repeatedly are key to building confidence and mastery.\r\n\r\nWhat excites students most is the ability to have their own copies of resources they can use, mark up, and even take home for extra practice. They feel more prepared and less stressed knowing they have everything they need in front of them. It also allows me to differentiate instruction more easily—printing targeted practice or enrichment activities that meet students exactly where they are.\r\n\r\nI've seen particular growth in students who benefit from hands-on learning and organization. Some of my students who struggle with staying focused or keeping track of digital assignments have really thrived with printed materials. Having something tangible in front of them helps them stay engaged and take ownership of their work. I've also had students express pride in completing and organizing their printed assignments, which has boosted their confidence.","fullyFundedDate":1769177948641,"projectUrl":"project/print-it-see-it-learn-it-math/9758671/","projectTitle":"Print It, See It, Learn It, Math!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Volkman","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3159503_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1617835289756","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-volkman"},{"teacherId":3159503,"projectId":9681380,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for this donation. \r\nIt's been such a great way my students can do calculating and creating all at the same time.\r\nThe students are able to create new ideas with this 3d printer.\r\nIt has been a great fit to our classroom and addition to our math club on campus.\r\nIt's so awesome to be able to teach the students how to manage a 3d printer like this. \r\nThe students are able to use computer programs to create and then build their own personal 3d printer. \r\nIt's truly a blessing to add different things to our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1758063558154,"projectUrl":"project/math-clubbin-and-3d-printin/9681380/","projectTitle":"Math Clubbin' and 3D Printin'!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Volkman","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3159503_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1617835289756","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-volkman"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_58635","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":2133,"numTeachers":89,"percentFrplEligible":46,"percentAsian":4,"percentBlack":6,"percentWhite":10,"percentIndigenous":1,"percentLatinx":73,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":3,"gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"24.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":58.5,"schoolId":58635,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Apollo High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Apollo High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/arizona/glendale-union-hsd-205/apollo-high-school/58635"}
