These whiteboards have already become a valuable part of our daily learning. In a high school math classroom, students often learn best when they can actively work through problems, talk through their thinking, and physically show their steps, and these boards have made that much easier.\r\nMy students especially love using the boards during group work because they get to become \"little teachers\", solving problems together, explaining their thinking, and displaying their work for others to see. One of my favorite moments so far has been watching students volunteer to stand at the boards and teach a problem to their classmates, something many of them would normally hesitate to do from their desks. The boards have also helped me during small-group instruction. In my larger classroom, I can now create a quick reteach space in the back of the room where I leave model problems, guide a few students through challenging steps, or provide worked examples they can reference while practicing independently.\r\nThe magnetic feature has also been especially helpful because I can post examples, vocabulary, and step-by-step supports directly onto the boards while students work. Instead of crowding around one small board or trying to see from awkward angles while I write, students can spread out, engage more comfortably, and see the math clearly. As we continue through Algebra 1, these boards will remain an important tool for group problem-solving, review activities, error analysis, and preparing for the Regents. \r\n\r\nYour generosity has given my students another way to participate actively in math, build confidence, and make their thinking visible every day.\r\n\r\nThank you again for investing in our classroom and our learning.","fullyFundedDate":1765205080777,"projectUrl":"project/whiteboards-that-build-confidence-and-co/9923533/","projectTitle":"Whiteboards That Build Confidence and Collaboration","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Murnane","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9204722_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1759021661154","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9204722"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_102330","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":287,"numTeachers":25,"percentFrplEligible":84,"percentAsian":4,"percentBlack":46,"percentWhite":4,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":44,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"11.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":null,"schoolId":102330,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Rockaway Collegiate High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Rockaway Collegiate High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-york/new-york-city-dept-of-ed/rockaway-collegiate-high-school/102330"}
