We want our students to be just as engaged in math virtually as they are in person. Our students and staff are learning together how to have effective mathematics classes during the stay at home mandate. One method that is proving effective is to hold a virtual class via Zoom, and sharing my iPad screen. The iPad is really useful because it allows me to write notes, solve problems, and annotate student work much more easily using an Apple Pencil. The Apple Pencil helps support me towards implementing the important WI Standards of Mathematical Practices in a virtual setting- developing our students expertise in problem solving, reasoning and proof, communication, representation, and connections. With Apple Pencil I am able to introduce different forms of representation that can be useful to building our students' understanding. With the ability to more accurately draw and create diagrams, our students are better able to make sense of the math and visualize models. I use our drawings, models, and representations to explain and justify our reasoning. I use our various drawings and solutions to make choices about efficiency and connections in math concepts. Most importantly I can facilitate discourse among our students by explaining and defending different approaches. My team is currently challenged with having deep learning in math virtually without the ability to accurately draw, model, and create diagrams on the iPad. If our teachers were provided an Apple Pencil we could more effectively develop student skills in problem solving, reasoning and proof, communication, and representation. I believe the Apple Pencil will support a more authentic and engaging virtual experience for educators and students. Let's develop our student mathematical skills deeply-no matter if we are in a virtual setting!
