Catch Me Talking About Math

Help me give my students a Qball to promote communication in Math Class.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Miles's classroom raised $295

This project is fully funded

My Project

The Qball is a progressive, action-oriented learning tool that engages and encourages participation of all students. This technology integrates the Four Cs of Education (Critical Thinking, Communication, Collaboration and Creativity). When using this innovative device students learn skills needed in the 21st Century like clear and articulate communication in Math Class while working with a team, as an essential skill for our future leaders. The Qball wireless microphone provides a tangible motivator for students. With the Qball in hand, learners are encouraged to analyze situations and discuss ways to solve problems. The Qball gives students a desire to bring and share out multiple solutions to a variety of problems.

My Goal for using the Qball in the classroom to provide an innovative tool to engage students while talking about Math concepts.

When speaking using the Qball:

-Students improve and share their understanding of Math concepts taught.

-Students will be able to recall terms and ideas.

-Students will be able to provide critical thinking concepts when prompted questions to answer.

-Students will be able to identify/ recall vocabulary words with repetition from other students.

-Students will grasp math concepts when using the device during addition, subtraction and multiplication practice.

By letting students toss the Qball around the room, formative assessment and review become instantly more engaging and meaningful. The QBall helps teachers more consistently remember to check-in with what students need and it helps students feel more empowered to approach and tackle content that can otherwise feel intimidating.

My students come from a variety of socio-economic status. They live in a rural area outside a major city in our state. They are all diverse learners and need to learn to express their thoughts through engaging conversations while learning new concepts or sharing ideas with other classmates.
