My Project

My students are starting to run out of composition notebooks and our Expo markers are running dry from all of the group work we've done all semester long in Math 6. My students love to fill up their math notebooks with foldable origami notes and the graph paper helps us with straight lines for tables, lines, and coordinate planes. They love showing their work on our whiteboards (small ones, medium sized ones, big ones, horizontal, vertical, diagonal). It's wonderful to watch students doodle as they work out their math. Visual learners are so amazing to watch!
