DRY ERASE MARKERS- MISTAKES ALLOW THINKING TO HAPPEN

Help me give my students dry erase markers to help facilitate learning. Students can use the dry erase markers with the boards I have to show ideas, organization, fluency and presentation of classwork.

My Project

iIn the learning process of math, making mistakes is not only allowed but is actually considered a valuable part of the process, as it provides opportunities to identify areas of misunderstanding and deepen your understanding by correcting them; essentially, mistakes are seen as a natural step towards learning and improvement.

My students love using dry erase markers with different colors on dry erase boards.

When a student gets to choose a color and then write on dry erase boards it a visual space for students to show concepts, allow students to actively participate by writing directly on a board, and quickly check for understanding through immediate feedback when they show their work on their boards, all while enabling easy erasure and reuse for new information; essentially making learning more interactive and engaging for students of all learning styles
