Erase Mathematical Gaps by Checking for Understanding

Help me give my students dry erase markers and boards so I can check their understanding.

My Project

The dry erase markers and whiteboards will help me to identify the students mathematical gaps by checking for understanding. Many students are afraid to ask questions due to self-esteem and I want them to be able to help those non-verbal students by being able to check for understanding when doing problems.

The main goal for this project is to help me improve as a teacher but to also allow students to show their capabilities and deficiencies.

I want all my students 'to be seen' as the students at my school deserve nothing but the best. Thank you!!
