Memorizing multiplication and division can often feel tedious when done in traditional ways, but these new resources have completely transformed the learning process. Instead of struggling with rote memorization, students are now eager to practice because the materials make learning interactive and enjoyable. It has been such a joy to see their confidence grow as they take on new challenges with excitement.\r\n\r\nThe best part is that students now actually ask to practice their math facts! Through games and hands-on activities, they are not only building fluency but also having fun while doing it. These resources have turned practice into play, creating a positive learning environment where every child is motivated to participate. Thank you for helping us make math both meaningful and exciting for our students.","fullyFundedDate":1566846935875,"projectUrl":"project/fun-with-facts/4215911/","projectTitle":"Fun with Facts","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. W.","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4175609_orig.jpg?crop=2400,2400,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1768599954585","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4175609"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_53294","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":463,"numTeachers":31,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":68,"percentIndigenous":8,"percentLatinx":7,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"14.9:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":53.8,"schoolId":53294,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about West Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"West Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/montana/great-falls-school-district-1a/west-elementary-school/53294"}
