The calculators are a tool to help them complete work faster and to help them understand how to use it so they can be adequately prepared for future years when they are needed for more advanced computations and graphing. My main goal this year was to expose them to calculators so they can understand how to use them and help combat any confusion.\r\n\r\nCalculators do not do the work for them as they still have to know how to use it and know what type of problem they are completing. These are tools to help them complete those problems more quickly while building their knowledge of the technology they will soon be using all the time in more advanced grade levels. \r\n\r\nI appreciate all for you that helped me to reach this goal so that I can get my students calculator skills matching the level they need to be so they can be adequately prepared for the next grade level.","fullyFundedDate":1758652597526,"projectUrl":"project/calculators-for-success/9724510/","projectTitle":"Calculators for Success","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Folmar","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9586505_orig.jpg?crop=384,384,x0,y66&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1720488809325","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/aislynfolmar"},{"teacherId":8588438,"projectId":9935096,"letterContent":"I am deeply grateful for the materials I've received from Donorschoose.

They really appreciate the new dry erase sleeves. The ones I've received from Donorschoose erase easily and don't stain or streak like the ones that were replace by the new ones. I asked my students how they liked the new ones. They showed me how easily they can erase/ wipe off the dry erase sleeves and are so thankful for these items. They love using the dry erase sleeves and love using these now even more so because it's so easy to keep them clean.\r\n\r\nWe use the pencils and erasers on a near-daily basis, too. Most days, the students have a bell-ringer task, and they use the notebooks, pencils and erasers for this. We have plenty of pencils now and I don't have to worry about running out of them. Students know there will be erasers to hand them so they can eraser mistakes. They know that when the time comes for a new notebook, one will be ready for them.\r\n\r\nThe pouches are helping to keep phonics materials and collaboration materials organized and are a great help. They are such a time-saver, since the materials are right in the pouches when the students need them.\r\n\r\nThank you again for your love for my students and the gifts you have given.

In a math classroom, a dull pencil or a lack of an eraser can be a major roadblock to a breakthrough. They were especially excited about the \"fancy\" sharpener—it has quickly become the most popular (and quietest!) tool in the room.\r\n\r\nWe recently used these fresh supplies during a \"Whiteboard Relay\" geometry challenge. Using the new EXPO cleaners and erasers, students were able to quickly iterate on their proofs and sketches without leaving behind messy \"ghost\" marks from previous problems. It turned a stressful review session into a clean, fast-paced, and collaborative game.\r\n\r\nWhat's Next for My Students\r\nWith the classroom now fully equipped with these \"daily drivers,\" we are moving into our unit on Coordinate Graphing and Data Plotting.\r\n\r\nPrecision is Key: Now that every student has access to a sharp, high-quality pencil, their graphs are becoming much more accurate, which is vital for seeing the correct intersections of lines.\r\n\r\nClean Slates: We will be using the whiteboards daily to track data trends. Having the EXPO Whiteboard Care kit ensures that we can start every lesson with a literal clean slate, keeping the focus on the data rather than old marks.\r\n\r\nSafety & Support: Even having the Band-Aids on hand provides a sense of security, ensuring that minor scrapes don't derail a student's focus during an intense lesson.\r\n\r\nThank you for providing the foundation that makes our math discoveries possible!","fullyFundedDate":1768591284826,"projectUrl":"project/from-basics-to-beyond-empowering-middle/9990959/","projectTitle":"From Basics to Beyond: Empowering Middle Years Math","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Kazi","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9318063_orig.jpg?crop=360,360,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1696603637074","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9318063"},{"teacherId":9318063,"projectId":9982860,"letterContent":"The TI-30XS MultiView calculators have officially arrived, and they are changing the game for our math students!\r\n\r\nBridging the Gap: While home tech is great for basic math, these calculators use MathPrint™.

Students can see their entire work history at once. It allows them to compare results and find their own errors—turning mistakes into learning moments.\r\n\r\nBuilding Confidence: These have been a lifesaver for my students who used to get overwhelmed by complex steps.

Beyond the excitement, your gift has provided a sense of dignity. Students who used to walk into class feeling behind because they lacked a simple tool now walk in with their heads held high, knowing exactly where to find what they need.\r\n\r\nWe recently put these resources to work during our intensive unit on Graphing Linear Equations. In math, precision is everything. Watching my students use their new pencils to carefully plot points and draw clean lines of best fit on their coordinate planes was incredible.
