You can see the joy and confidence on their faces as they explain their math strategies, celebrate \"aha!\" moments, and cheer each other on.\r\n\r\nEven my quietest students are finding their voices. There's something about standing side by side at the whiteboard that makes learning feel like a team effort. Mistakes have turned into learning moments, and problem-solving has become something everyone looks forward to.\r\n\r\nBecause of your generosity, math has become more engaging, hands-on, and fun.
