Balancing Act

Help me give my students a more collaborative classroom to show their mathematical thinking process by standing around a vertical whiteboard vs. individually at their desks.

My Project

When it comes to teaching, it's crucial to understand that relying solely on one strategy may not suffice. For example, in language instruction, integrating both phonics and whole language approaches is essential for comprehensive learning. Similarly, in mathematics, balancing problem-solving skills with automaticity in calculations is key to fostering a well-rounded understanding of mathematical concepts. By combining various strategies, educators can cater to the diverse learning needs of students and promote a more holistic learning experience.

Vertical whiteboards in a traditional classroom setting can offer a refreshing change and enhance student engagement.

The physical act of writing on a vertical surface can be more interactive and dynamic, allowing students to participate actively in discussions and problem-solving. This setup can also promote collaboration among students, as they can easily share and build upon each other's ideas. In short, having vertical whiteboards can cater to different learning styles and create a more versatile and stimulating learning environment for all my 125+ students each year.

Benefits of Using Post-it Super Sticky Dry Erase Boards

1) Flexible Collaborative Spaces: Adhering the Post-it Super Sticky Dry Erase Boards to walls will create adaptable spaces where students can gather and collaborate easily.

2) Promotes Interaction: Having writable surfaces accessible on walls encourages ALL students to engage actively in brainstorming sessions and group projects.

3) Easy to Rearrange: Mounting the boards on walls allows to easily rearrange the collaborative space layout.

These benefits make Post-it Super Sticky Dry Erase Boards a practical choice for creating interactive and engaging collaborative spaces in educational settings. Please help me achieve this classroom environment by being a donor.
