My Project

Simply sitting at a desk with a teacher standing at the front of the room and lecturing is not conducive to effective learning. Students need to be actively engaged and encouraged to think critically. Introducing standing whiteboards into the classroom environment provides a dynamic platform for collaborative problem-solving. By presenting problems and encouraging group work, students are empowered to think creatively and explore solutions together.

In this setup, there's no traditional "front" of the room; instead, everyone is involved, with the teacher facilitating learning by circulating and providing guidance as needed.

Thought-provoking questions can prompt students to articulate their thought processes, while the option to move around the room encourages exploration and peer learning.

This approach transforms learning into an interactive and enjoyable experience for students. They actively participate, collaborate with peers, and learn from each other's perspectives. Mistakes become part of the learning process, and students gain confidence in tackling challenging problems knowing they have support.

In addressing the significant gap in math proficiency, incorporating these resources not only bridges the divide but also ensures that students are equipped with the skills to tackle any problem they encounter. By fostering a culture of critical thinking and problem-solving, students gain confidence across all subjects, preparing them for academic success.
