The Missing Piece To A Thinking Classroom

Funded May 7, 2024

Thank you so much for your generous donation toward the dry erase markers for our math classroom! My students and I have been using them to bring our "building thinking classroom" to life. With the markers, students are solving problems together on whiteboards, explaining their thinking, and collaborating with their peers. One memorable moment was during a lesson on recursive sequences, where students worked in groups to identify patterns and write formulas for sequences. The whiteboards allowed them to quickly test ideas, visualize the sequence growth, and collaborate in real-time to find accurate recursive relationships.

When the students first saw the markers, they were so excited to get started! They immediately grabbed them and began filling up the whiteboards with ideas. The enthusiasm and energy in the room were contagious.

Next, we're diving deeper into Algebra 2, focusing on polynomials, including division, graphing, and solving higher-degree equations. The dry erase markers will be key as students visualize and experiment with different strategies. Your contribution has sparked an increase in engagement and collaboration, and we're eager to continue this journey of learning. Thank you again for making this possible!”

With gratitude,

Mr. Lau
