Texas math students donate $5,000 for Feeding Texas

This school year, students from across Texas solved more than 2.2 million math problems, converting earned math points to a $5,000 donation for Feeding Texas.

Texas students who use Imagine Learning’s Imagine Math program completed math problems and donated earned points from the program to raise $5,000 for Feeding Texas. On January 12, Imagine Learning representatives along with students and staff from Atlanta Elementary of Atlanta ISD will present a $5,000 check to Feeding Texas representatives during a celebration ceremony.

Imagine Math is a digital education program that allows students across the district to increase their math skills while also choosing to give to charity. This fall, Texas students worked on Imagine Math lessons and earned a currency called THINK points within the program. Students choose how to spend their points, with options ranging from dressing avatars, contributing to class goals, or donating to a charity.

Texas students solved more than 2.2 million math problems during the donation period and donated more than 50 million earned THINK points. These points translate to $5,000 for Feeding Texas. This donation is a part of Imagine Learning’s charitable giving program, which has raised more than $920,000 for local and national charities since its inception.

Atlanta Elementary School was the highest donating school in the state and will be the representative school for the celebration ceremony. Top donating classrooms and students from Atlanta Elementary will be recognized during the thirty-minute ceremony.

“Atlanta Elementary School is committed to nurturing well-rounded individuals who go beyond academic excellence,” said Dena McCord, Atlanta Elementary School Principal. “Through initiatives like the Imagine Math Challenge, our students not only excel in mathematics but also cultivate a spirit of generosity. This act of kindness exemplifies our staff members’ commitment to nurturing not just bright minds, but compassionate hearts.”

Studies show that when students take part in opportunities to donate to charitable organizations, they develop decision-making skills, develop empathy, boost their confidence, and lay the groundwork for a lifetime of philanthropic thinking and practice.

Imagine Math combines a rich curriculum with fun, adaptive digital experiences to help students become confident math learners. Recent studies have shown that students who utilize Imagine Math demonstrate significant academic gains on standardized assessments. Ideal as a supplement to standards-based PreK—Geometry core instruction, Imagine Math’s two age-appropriate learning environments are designed for student engagement. In Grades 3 and above, students are invited to a meaningful exploration of mathematical understanding. Rigorous, standards-rich content adapts to the unique needs of each learner to develop essential foundations and conceptual understanding they need to achieve grade-level mastery. In addition, students in grades 3 through 8 can earn points by completing lessons which can be turned into charitable donation dollars.
