Because of you, our students now have access to engaging problem-solving math games and hands-on resources that are transforming the way they learn and experience math.\r\n\r\nThese materials have brought a new level of excitement into our classroom. Students are actively collaborating, discussing strategies, and thinking critically as they work through challenges together. The games encourage perseverance, flexible thinking, and productive struggle—skills that are essential not only in math, but in life.\r\n\r\nI have already seen a positive shift in student confidence. Learners who were once hesitant to participate are now eager to try, explain their thinking, and learn from mistakes. The hands-on nature of these resources makes abstract concepts more accessible and helps students build a deeper understanding of problem solving.\r\n\r\nYour kindness and belief in our students have made a lasting impact. Thank you for investing in their learning and for helping create a classroom environment where curiosity, collaboration, and confidence can grow every day.","fullyFundedDate":1765520979476,"projectUrl":"project/problem-solving-skill-building-games/9868674/","projectTitle":"Problem Solving Skill Building Games","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Eckenrode","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9016226"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_89820","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":191,"numTeachers":16,"percentFrplEligible":94,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":4,"percentWhite":80,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":5,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":7,"gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"11.9:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":64.8,"schoolId":89820,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Guilford Hills Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Guilford Hills Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/pennsylvania/chambersburg-area-school-district/guilford-hills-elementary-school/89820"}
