My Project

Math can be daunting for some. Using dry erase markers helps students feel more free to make mistakes and learn because it wipes clean easily and doesn't have to be "turned in". I have had huge success with students doing math with dry erase boards and markers to learn math instead of paper. There is something psychological about it. Students are more willing to "wrestle" with the math which is where the "magic" happens.

Alternate lighting creates a more inviting environment in lieu of harsh fluorescent classroom lights they are accustomed to.
