Help me give my students dry erase coordinate planes! Using Peter Liljedahl's research, 8th grade math students work at vertical whiteboards for their tasks. This helps mobilize learning, stimulate their thinking, and encourages collaboration. Help us graph vertically!
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
Using Peter Liljedahl's research, our 8th grade math students work at vertical whiteboards for their math tasks. This helps mobilize learning, stimulate their thinking, and encourages collaboration. We work so much with the coordinate plane through Geometry and Functions and are limited in the ability to maintain vertical whiteboard tasks when we don't have coordinate planes. Teachers are able to formatively assess where students are in their comprehension when student learning is mobilized and students are free to have non-permanent processing.
Our goal is to buy enough vertical whiteboards for each 8th grade math teacher and one 8th grade math resource teacher to have enough whiteboards for their class groups of three.
Our students are AMAZING and have been working so hard! We'd love to give them this opportunity!
