Three Brains Are Better Than One!

Help me give my students vertical whiteboard spaces to do their math work collaboratively in small groups.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Chinen's classroom raised $981

My Project

My math students are thinkers! They love to be challenged and thrive when working together. The use of vertical whiteboard spaces in small collaborative groups has had a huge impact on my classroom, but our current boards are unstable and need an upgrade.

These amazing mobile boards will not only allow my students to collaboratively work in groups, but they will also have the ability to move their boards and meet up with other groups to compare and discuss strategies.

In addition, these boards are magnetic and have the ability to turn into a table space, which allows the students to work with math manipulatives while annotating their work at the same time. They will be a wonderful addition to all of my math classes.
