Students use the boards for quick responses during lessons, allowing every learner to actively participate and show their thinking in real time. This has been especially effective during math instruction, as teachers can immediately assess understanding, address misconceptions, and adjust instruction based on what they see across the room. The write boards also support whole-class discussions, giving students confidence to share ideas without the pressure of permanent written work.\r\n\r\nOne specific classroom moment that stood out was when students collaborated on a multi-step math problem using their write boards, then combined their work to create a bulletin board display of the entire class's thinking. Each student contributed a strategy or solution, and together we organized the boards to show different approaches to the same problem. This visual display sparked meaningful discussion about problem-solving methods and allowed students to learn from one another. The bulletin board now serves as a reference point, reinforcing both the math concepts and the value of collective learning. We can't thank you enough for your contribution to our classroom learning environment.","fullyFundedDate":1763474757709,"projectUrl":"project/active-learning/9502072/","projectTitle":"Active Learning","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Gomez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10094470_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1763698434111","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10094470"},{"teacherId":10027705,"projectId":9334791,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your gracious donations!
