Math is learned through practice. I often compare studying math to practicing basketball (partly because I teach in North Carolina and basketball is a universal language). You get better by DOING. The white board table tops in my classroom encourage students to write down the math in their heads and work through it with their peers.
I went the inexpensive route last year and installed makeshift dry erase boards on top of the tables, but they were not sustainable. With your help, I would like to paint the table tops with dry erase paint to be used by students for years to come. We also need more Expo markers.
The enthusiasm and student growth I have seen this year from the whiteboard tables will only continue to flourish with better, sustainable materials.
