My students need a fun, easy way to practice math problems! Our students come from a variety of elementary schools in a large surrounding area, so their math backgrounds are just as varied. Therefore, we have to review quite a bit to get the classes on equal ground and make sure every student is ready to learn whatever lesson we're about to teach. Our schedule also has students coming to class every other day, so we need a good amount of practice and repetition in the time we have to aid in retention. These dry erase whiteboards and Expo dry erase markers are going to help my kids practice math problems quickly and easily while having more fun! They'll provide a more tactile experience compared to normal notebook work, while saving room in the notebooks when we're just practicing. The students can use the small erasers and Expo cleaner to clean and reuse their boards over and over, saving paper, and the various colored markers will let them color code different types of operations or properties, or just express themselves! Furthermore, the students can complete a problem on their board and hold it up for me to check instantly, rather than waiting, allowing for more efficient use of work time!
