My students are high school mathematicians looking to work together with peers to explore and create mathematical ideas. Different classroom furniture can help make collaboration easier. The students want to be able to share their ideas easily with one another.
My students are energetic learners who want to work with peers to make meaning of mathematics.
The students are trying to explore, create and develop mathematical ideas through the use of incorporating collaboration and communication in the classroom with their peers.
My Project
My students will be able to work together by sharing their mathematical ideas by using these tables. The tables allow easy collaboration due to the shape of the tables and also due to being able to use dry erase markers to write on the tabletops to share ideas easily.
Students can easily share their mathematical thinking!
These tables allow students to be able to collaborate and communicate with their peers easily and efficiently. They have a tabletop that allows writing, so it is easy for peers to structure their mathematical thinking. It makes it nice to critique the reasoning of peers. They can work together on coming to a conclusion and making sense of the mathematical work from the entire group.
