My students and I are already putting the Number STAX blocks, Ten Frame Sensory Bubble Poppers, Frog Balance sets, and Dive Into Shapes geometry kit to good use. These resources are helping us build a strong foundation in number sense, problem-solving, and early geometry through hands-on exploration. During math centers, students love stacking the Number STAX blocks to practice counting and place value, popping out numbers on the Ten Frame boards, and balancing frogs to see math equations come to life. With the Dive Into Shapes set, students have started building 2D and 3D structures, which has opened the door for exciting conversations about shapes, sides, and angles.\r\n\r\nWhen the materials first arrived, the students' excitement filled the room. They immediately gathered around the Frog Balance set and began experimenting with how many frogs it would take to keep the scale even. One student proudly shouted, \"I made a triangle tower!\" while using the Dive Into Shapes pieces to build his own design. Their joy and curiosity showed me how powerful these hands-on tools are for sparking engagement and deeper learning.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, we will be using these materials to strengthen addition, subtraction, and problem-solving skills while also diving into early geometry concepts. I plan to incorporate small group challenges where students use the geometry set to create specific shapes or structures and explain their reasoning to classmates. These activities not only strengthen math skills but also encourage teamwork, communication, and creativity. Your support has truly transformed our classroom into a more interactive and joyful learning environment, and I cannot thank you enough for making this possible.","fullyFundedDate":1757423269026,"projectUrl":"project/building-number-sense-through-play/9481113/","projectTitle":"Building Number Sense Through Play","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Freeman","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8422642_orig.jpg?crop=361,361,x79,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1689031698033","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8422642"},{"teacherId":8415220,"projectId":9066643,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for generous donation to our classroom.

Their eyes lit up as they explored each item, and their excitement was contagious. They've eagerly taken to using the yoga balls for independent work, the floor cushions during reading time, and the lap desks for flexible group work around the room.
