My Project

I have a fantastic group of students who strive to learn math and solve complicated math problems on whiteboards, so they can see the concepts come to life.

Whiteboards are way less threatening for students to attempt to solve complicated math problems.

They allow students to make mistakes without fear because mistakes can easily and quickly be erased or fixed on a whiteboard space.

I love when light bulbs go off for my students and they make sense of complicated Algebra concepts when they grapple with them on a whiteboard space they can easily erase and fix things on. This project will make all of this possible!
