In our math class, my goal is to present groupworthy problems to students that will tickle their curiosity. However, when I present them with a rich problem, where will they show their thinking? Vertical nonpermanent surfaces such as dry erase easels will encourage students to work through the problem-solving process and allow students to easily erase things as they work. These easels positively encourage students to start writing down their thinking faster and help them be less afraid to make mistakes when they know those are easily erased. Students get engaged, participate, and discuss problems. Group work, rich problems, and vertical nonpermanent surfaces such as Dry-Erase Easels, allow students to learn from each other-- groups can see other boards around the classroom to get ideas when they're stuck. Ultimately, students persevere longer with tough problems. I love the idea of being able to look around the room and see all of the thinking on all the boards at once. This will allow me to easily identify groups that need help so I can offer prompt and in-the-moment feedback for learning.
