However, I got subtraction regrouping kits. The subtraction regrouping kits have had a positive impact on students by making abstract math concepts more concrete and understandable. Using this hands-on material helped them visualize the process of regrouping, which improved their accuracy and confidence when solving subtraction problems. Students were more engaged during lessons and demonstrated a stronger grasp of place value and number relationships. Overall, the kit made learning subtraction more interactive and enjoyable.\r\n\r\nThank you so much for your kind donation.","fullyFundedDate":1758202662915,"projectUrl":"project/write-wipe-reuse/9509530/","projectTitle":"Write.
