My students are wonderful! They come to learn with an incredible energy, attitude, perseverance, and wit that makes teaching 7th grade math so incredibly rewarding.
We have strong and determined students that just need to be provided with quality visuals in math to be able to successfully meet the 7th grade math learning targets.
It will provide every student with the classroom visuals to connect to concepts to the math learning targets that were just taught.
This will benefit the teacher during lessons and the students trying to concentrate during those lessons. We have a diverse student population that is 72% free or reduced-price lunch, and many students have obstacles such as language barriers, lack of supplies, and support at home, so the time in school is crucial to provide these students with the necessary, quality tools.
My Project
Having a mobile whiteboard in our classroom will make it so much more meaningful when I meet students for small group instruction. Often times students need reteaching in small groups because they are more comfortable asking clarifying questions and need support from their teacher. I am often bringing a small whiteboard over but there is not enough space so have to erase earlier steps to keep demonstrating. Having a large mobile whiteboard like this one will make a difference in the students' learning because it will allow for enough room to leave on the board every step by step to be shown and for students to refer to.
My students are amazing and thrive on visuals that could be demonstrated on this mobile white board for math!
My hope is to have this whiteboard soon because I know it will impact all students and increase their understanding of the mathematics of 7th grade standards.
This is a whiteboard that would be used daily throughout every lesson. Having a magnetic whiteboard like this one is an added bonus when I have posters I am able to quickly add more visuals to help support the math learning targets.
