The Wonder of Whiteboards!

Help me give my students the chance to practice graphing lines and quadratic equations on whiteboards instead of just graph paper! Students LOVE to use whiteboards to practice and love the games we play in class with them!

My Project

Students are MUCH more engaged when they get to use whiteboards to show their thinking / practice class concepts! Having whiteboards that we can graph lines and quadratic equations on would help us practice in class, without having to rely on graph paper and/or printing out dozens of copies of blank coordinate planes! I also love to make whiteboards into class games to try to make their practice time more fun! My students deserve to have fun in math- and at school in general. And these whiteboards would be another step into making their day more exciting!
