The kids love the new whiteboards and are very enthusiastic about this \"new way\" we do math. They really have stepped up - they are more engaged, more on task, and their abiltiy to collaborate with each other has grown. They share their thinking and build on each others' work as they solve problems together at the boards. \r\n\r\nThe students work in randomized groups of three. This is helping them learn to interact with others and cooperate to meet a common goal. The students who are usually quiet are more likely to speak. Students who don't typically interact, eventually end up grouped with each other. \r\n\r\nAnother benefit to working at the boards is it forces the students to verbalize their thinking to each other and holds them all accountable for the work. All three are responsible for understanding and being able to explain their group's work.","fullyFundedDate":1725580738646,"projectUrl":"project/help-me-build-a-thinking-math-classroom/8712520/","projectTitle":"Help Me Build a Thinking Math Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Malicki","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9483693"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_43742","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":567,"numTeachers":52,"percentFrplEligible":38,"percentAsian":11,"percentBlack":7,"percentWhite":47,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":29,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"5 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"10.9:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":77.3,"schoolId":43742,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Martin Kellogg Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Martin Kellogg Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/connecticut/newington-public-schools/martin-kellogg-middle-school/43742"}
