One of our favorite moments was during a \"Number Bonds Challenge.\" Students worked in pairs using the new counters to build number bonds and solve addition problems. They loved being able to physically move pieces to see how numbers connect—it turned abstract concepts into something they could touch and understand.\r\n\r\nHow did your students react when they first saw the materials?\r\nTheir excitement was priceless! Many of them gasped and said things like, \"Wow, these are for us?\" They immediately wanted to explore the colorful tools and started asking if they could use them right away. For some of my students, this was their first time working with real math manipulatives, so it felt like a big celebration in our classroom.\r\n\r\nWhat are the next steps for your students?\r\nNext, we're diving into subtraction and story problems. Students will use the manipulatives to model real-world math scenarios, like sharing snacks or counting classroom items. This will help them build a strong foundation for problem-solving and prepare them for more complex concepts later in the year.","fullyFundedDate":1746867655939,"projectUrl":"project/math-is-the-way-to-go/9050502/","projectTitle":"Math Is the Way To Go","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Taylor","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9892500"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_97436","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":329,"numTeachers":23,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":21,"percentWhite":2,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":76,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - Pre-K","studentTeacherRatio":"14.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":57.1,"schoolId":97436,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Bellfort Early Childhood Center on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Bellfort Early Childhood Center","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/houston-independent-school-district/bellfort-early-childhood-center/97436"}
