Math has always been a challenge for them, especially when it comes to solving word problems. Thanks to your generous donation of calculators, my students are not only learning how to use this important tool, but they are also developing critical problem-solving skills. The moment they got their hands on the calculators, they became more excited about math! They immediately became more engaged, eager to explore math problems, and more motivated to figure out what to do with the numbers in each question. \r\n\r\nThis boost in confidence has been especially noticeable among the girls in my class, who have shown a newfound enthusiasm for math. The calculators have made them more willing to truly think through each problem. Your support has not only provided a valuable learning tool but has also helped ignite a love for math in students who often struggle.
