Before and after coming to the class, they are reading and trying to grasp the concepts shown in the posters. Most of them tell me that these are cool and beneficial to them because whenever they think they need the formula or concept remembered, it's just in the room and within their reach. I'm looking forward to these posters helping my students sustain their engagement and interest in math lessons since they can see and read math concepts around the classroom in colorful and interactive displays.","fullyFundedDate":1762265386046,"projectUrl":"project/wall-to-wall-math-magic/9620918/","projectTitle":"Wall-to-Wall Math Magic","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Vasquez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9452323_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1732070506869","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9452323"},{"teacherId":9452323,"projectId":8954782,"letterContent":"The integration of iPads into our math classroom has been a game-changer for my students. Instead of relying only on paper and pencil, they now have access to interactive apps, virtual manipulatives, and real-time feedback that deepen their understanding of concepts. The iPads allow me to differentiate instruction more effectively, so each student can learn at their own pace and strengthen skills where they need it most. This technology has made math lessons more engaging, hands-on, and meaningful.\r\n What excites my students most about the iPads is how math feels more like exploration than routine work. They love using graphing tools, solving problems with visual models, and even competing in interactive practice games that make learning fun. The ability to instantly check their answers and see problems come to life on the screen has boosted their motivation and enthusiasm for math in ways I hadn't seen before.\r\n Some students have especially flourished with the use of iPads. For example, those who once struggled to stay engaged during traditional lessons are now more focused because the technology captures their interest. Quieter students who were hesitant to participate are using digital features to confidently share their ideas. Others have taken the initiative to explore apps beyond classwork, showing curiosity and pride in their learning. Seeing these breakthroughs has been one of the most rewarding outcomes of this project, and I am truly grateful for your support in making it possible.","fullyFundedDate":1742157663774,"projectUrl":"project/math-in-motion-enhancing-learning-throu/8954782/","projectTitle":"Math in Motion: Enhancing Learning Through iPad Integration","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Vasquez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9452323_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1732070506869","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9452323"},{"teacherId":9452323,"projectId":9180781,"letterContent":"The scientific calculators have been a tremendous help in supporting my students' learning. Instead of getting stuck on long, time-consuming computations, they can now focus more on understanding the underlying concepts in math and science. This shift allows them to see patterns, test ideas, and build stronger problem-solving skills. The calculators serve as a bridge, helping them apply what they've learned in class more confidently and efficiently.\r\n What excites my students most about the scientific calculators is the ability to explore math in ways they couldn't before. They love discovering how functions, exponents, and equations come to life on the screen, and many feel empowered when they can quickly check their answers and move on to more challenging problems. For them, the calculator isn't just a device—it's a tool that makes learning both faster and more engaging.\r\n Some students have especially warmed to using the calculators. For instance, those who once felt intimidated by multi-step problems now approach them with more confidence, knowing they have the support to handle complex calculations. Others, who are naturally curious, have gone beyond classroom lessons, experimenting with features on their own and sharing discoveries with classmates. Watching these students grow in confidence and excitement reminds me just how valuable this tool has become in their learning journey.","fullyFundedDate":1743191580405,"projectUrl":"project/equipping-young-minds-enhancing-math-le/9180781/","projectTitle":"Equipping Young Minds: Enhancing Math Learning with Scientific Calculators","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Vasquez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9452323_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1732070506869","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9452323"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_79888","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":75,"numTeachers":9,"percentFrplEligible":36,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":97,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":2,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"7 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"8.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_REMOTE"},"inStateSupporters":33.3,"schoolId":79888,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Drake - Anamoose High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Drake - Anamoose High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/north-dakota/drake-school-district-57/drake-public-school/79888"}
