Your contribution to our classroom through the purchase of Sphero robots has made a tremendous impact on my students' math learning.\r\n\r\nSince integrating Spheros into the classroom, the Spheros have helped to:\r\n\r\n1. Bring abstract math to life. Students now understand complex concepts like place value, decimals, and geometry more clearly because they can visualize and apply what they're learning through coding and movement.\r\n\r\n2. They've made math hands-on and fun. Instead of sitting at desks solving problems on paper, students now use the Sphero to solve real-world challenges. Whether programming it to round numbers using a number line or navigating a course that models coordinate planes, learning feels like an adventure.\r\n\r\n3. They've deepened critical thinking. Students work in teams to problem-solve, debug code, and use precise measurement and logic—skills that connect directly to the math standards and foster computational thinking.\r\n\r\n4. They've increased participation from all learners. Students who once struggled with confidence in math are now excited to explore and contribute. Spheros have given them a new way to access math through creativity, movement, and technology.\r\n\r\nThis project has not only improved academic outcomes but also sparked a love for learning and discovery. With the Spheros in our classroom, students are no longer just solving math problems on paper; they're thinking critically, collaborating, and bringing mathematical concepts to life through computational thinking, guided by the PRADA model. Your support has empowered my students and transformed my teaching. Thank you for believing in them and in the power of innovation in education.","fullyFundedDate":1722570114521,"projectUrl":"project/my-mathbytes/8510129/","projectTitle":"My MathBytes","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Porter","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6463968_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1592412106851","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6463968"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_103858","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":655,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":27,"percentWhite":13,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":56,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 12","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":56.1,"schoolId":103858,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Royal Live Oaks Academy of the Arts and Sciences Charter School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Royal Live Oaks Academy of the Arts and Sciences Charter School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/south-carolina/south-carolina-department-of-education/royal-live-oaks-academy/103858"}
