The Magna-Tiles have completely transformed the way my students explore math, problem-solving, and creativity during our learning centers. These materials encourage students to think critically as they build, test ideas, and revise their creations. I have watched them make connections to shapes, symmetry, measurement, and even early geometry—all through hands-on play that feels exciting and meaningful to them.\r\n\r\nThe Magna-Tiles have also strengthened collaboration and communication in our classroom. Students naturally work together to design taller buildings, stronger structures, and creative patterns. They practice teamwork, take turns, and learn how to share ideas respectfully. These moments of play are building essential academic and social skills that will support them far beyond 1st grade.\r\n\r\nI am deeply grateful to our donors for making this project possible.
