Build Math Thinkers as We Build Thinking Classrooms!

Help me give my students whiteboard cleaners and erasers to keep their math work spaces clean and functional.

My Project

As high school math teachers, we are trying out a new teaching technique called "Building Thinking Classrooms." Part of this endeavor has students working up at whiteboards to show and explain their thinking in a more engaged and non-permanent setting (called "Vertical Non-Permanent Surfaces") AKA... whiteboards!

With math being done day in and day out on whiteboards, it is no surprise that we go through a lot of (1) markers, (2) paper towels, and (3) cleaning spray.

This project will help us save on paper towels and help keep the boards as good as the first day of school!

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
