With the new materials, my students can explore key math concepts such as counting, sorting, patterns, and number recognition in fun and interactive ways.\r\n\r\nThese centers have transformed our math centers. Students are collaborating, problem-solving, and building confidence as they manipulate tangible materials that help them visualize abstract ideas. For many of my young learners, especially those who benefit from tactile and visual learning, these resources will make a huge difference in their understanding and enthusiasm for math.\r\n\r\nBecause of this project, my students will be developing a stronger foundation in early math skills while also growing in independence and teamwork. The joy and excitement on their faces when the games arrived said it all. Thank you for helping my students see that math is not only important, but fun!","fullyFundedDate":1762267540579,"projectUrl":"project/we-learn-through-play/9818296/","projectTitle":"We learn through Play!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Fraser","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp2654241_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1448483606608","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-sfraser"},{"teacherId":2654241,"projectId":9817671,"letterContent":"Before receiving this generous donation, our classroom relied on black-and-white photocopied books for reading practice.
