We were learning to multiply and divide using double digits. I was ecstatic to see the surprise on each of my students' faces when we received the dry erase place value chart, multiplication and division practice white boards from this project. \r\n\r\n I started my lessons by reviewing place values skills that my students needed to understand before I could introduce the strategies to master multi-digit multiplication and division. After as few as four lessons, I noticed improvements in my students' critical thinking and problem solving skills. Our supplies from my Mathematical Concept Project also led to really great conversations where I was able to solidify the meaning of several math vocabulary words that are used while learning about place value positioning, division and multiplication. I am looking forward to teaching fractions to my students by using the lego guide to teaching fractions that we were graciously given. \r\n\r\n I can not express my appreciation and gratitude for the supplies that were donated to my classroom. I teach at a low income, equity focused school that receives free breakfast and lunch for our students. As a teacher, we are limited to the amount of funds we receive for each school year. It touches my heart that you chose my project to donate to.","fullyFundedDate":1759688994997,"projectUrl":"project/mathematical-concepts/9511160/","projectTitle":"Mathematical Concepts","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Monceaux","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10098764_orig.jpg?crop=1162,1162,x0,y81&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1753840729140","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/kayla-monceaux"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_14656","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":446,"numTeachers":29,"percentFrplEligible":85,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":7,"percentWhite":81,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":2,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"15.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":66.7,"schoolId":14656,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Lake Arthur Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Lake Arthur Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/louisiana/jefferson-davis-parish-school-district/lake-arthur-elementary-school/14656"}
