My second graders are naturally curious and energetic, and these resources have given them opportunities to move, play, collaborate, and learn while practicing important math skills. The foam dice and dice trays have made small-group activities more organized and interactive, allowing students to practice counting, addition, subtraction, multiplication, and number sense in a fun way. The Shut the Box games have encouraged students to think strategically, solve problems, and strengthen their mental math skills. Most importantly, these materials have helped my students become more confident and excited about math. They are learning to take risks, work together, and see themselves as capable mathematicians while discovering that learning math can be fun! Most of all, they have no idea they are learning!","fullyFundedDate":1787162940571,"projectUrl":"project/playful-math-for-growing-minds/10463320/","projectTitle":"Playful Math for Growing Minds","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Parker","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1775450_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1583671584291","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/jamiparker"},{"teacherId":148743,"projectId":10311729,"letterContent":"I love sharing books with kids!

One of the most exciting things for students is having their own set of headphones that allows them to fully immerse themselves in learning activities and work independently.\r\n\r\nThe headphones have been especially beneficial for students who learn best by listening and for those who need a quieter environment to stay focused. I've seen students become more confident when using reading and learning programs because they can clearly hear instructions and content at their own pace.
