Figuring Out the Math

Help me give my students enough dry erase markers to ensure that every class, every day, has the tools to work on the whiteboards.

My Project

We were fortunate enough to be gifted Post-It dry erase surfaces from other generous donors earlier this year. Students use them to work with a partner, or small group, to figure out solutions to problems in our Financial Algebra class. Working together with just a few other students can help some kids be less afraid of making a mistake.

However, we've run out of markers to use on the whiteboards!

When we got the dry erase surfaces, I didn't even think of ordering more markers. I just didn't realize how quickly the ones I had would dry up. It makes sense though because we used them every day.

If this project is donated, my students will be able to get back to the wall-mounted whiteboards instead of sitting at their desks for the whole period.

This will make them happy again!
