Students enjoyed healthy snacks while engaging in algebra games that reinforced key concepts like linear equations. The card game became a favorite activity—students worked in pairs to match equations with their graphs, cheering each other on as they mastered vocabulary like \"slope,\" \"intercept,\" and \"variable.\" These moments turned math into a fun, social experience that built confidence and teamwork.\r\n\r\nOne memorable day, two students were playing the card game and debating which card represented a positive slope. As they discussed, they used terms like \"rate of change\" and \"y-intercept\" naturally in conversation. The words that once felt intimidating now rolled off their tongues! This hands-on approach helped them internalize vocabulary while applying it to real problems. The algebra tiles you funded also played a huge role in deepening understanding, allowing students to physically model equations and see how variables interact.\r\n\r\nAlgebraic thinking is more than just math, it's problem-solving that applies to real life, from budgeting to engineering. By strengthening these skills now, students are building a foundation for future STEM opportunities. As a next step, I plan to combine snacks and the card game into a \"Math Café\" day, where students rotate through stations solving challenges while enjoying treats. Your support made this possible, and we are so grateful for the lasting impact on our learning community!","fullyFundedDate":1758947165827,"projectUrl":"project/snackin-mathin/9469842/","projectTitle":"Snackin’ & Mathin’","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Arana","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6573315_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1752698858105","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/arana"},{"teacherId":10240601,"projectId":9679981,"letterContent":"Thank you for donating and adding great STEM resources for my class.
