My Project

This initiative aims to empower my math students to apply their problem-solving and critical thinking skills collaboratively in a group setting. The focal point of this project involves strategically placing whiteboards on the walls throughout the classroom. Each day, students will be divided into groups and tasked with solving math problems on these whiteboards. The objective is to encourage the use of diverse problem-solving strategies.

This format not only facilitates learning from peers but also provides an opportunity for students to exhibit their individual problem-solving proficiency.

By fostering an environment of shared learning and showcasing various problem-solving techniques, this project aims to enhance students' overall mathematical comprehension and encourage a dynamic exchange of ideas within the classroom.
