My Project

Students spend a lot of time on their white boards showing me what they know and what they have learned. Asking them to show me is what we do daily! We go through a lot of black dry erase markers. We also are starting math journals to have students show what they learn after each lesson. It is a good way to assess their learning. Giving them each a math journal (composition notebook) to write or show numbers on what they have learned will also assess their learning. Students don't need much to be successful and it is finding the right things that matter!
