(Vernon Hills, IL) October 8, 2019 – To celebrate the 40th anniversary of its VersaTiles® product, hand2mind has committed to match donations up to $100,000 on VersaTiles Classroom Kits on DonorsChoose.org. The donation match will benefit thousands of students and hundreds of classrooms across the country. Over its 40 years, VersaTiles has helped over 1 million students build math and literacy proficiency in a challenging and rewarding way.

​Teachers have relied on VersaTiles for independent skills practice in both math and literacy and for use in small groups, rotations, centers, and stations.  

“The hand2mind team is thrilled to support DonorsChoose.org and teachers with this donation match program,” hand2mind CEO Rick Woldenberg said. “Our mission is to empower educators and help students to reach their full potential. By making VersaTiles available in more classrooms, we continue its 40-year legacy of screen-free, engaging skills practice.”
​

DonorsChoose.org makes it easy for anyone to help a classroom in need. The organization has given over $800 million in classroom project funding. Last year, hand2mind matched the donations of its Daily Math Fluency program following the product’s launch, which benefited over 24,000 students. 

“Partnering with organizations, such as hand2mind, allows DonorsChoose.org to put resources in the hands of teachers across the country,” said Vashti Barran, partnerships manager at DonorsChoose.org. “DonorsChoose.org VersaTiles projects will support teachers with resources for accelerating the development of foundational math and literacy skills in their classrooms.”

To help students deepen their understanding of math and literacy in a hands-on way, donate to support teachers on DonorsChoose.org. To learn more about VersaTiles, visit hand2mind.com.
