Congratulations to Park Jr. High 7th-grade math teacher, Emily Kallemeyn, who was awarded a grant from the NCTM - National Council of Teachers of Mathematics EducationTrust.
Thanks to this grant, Ms. Kallemeyn now has a brand-new Smart Board to enhance teaching and learning in the classroom. With this interactive tool, students can learn in many ways, including:
- Collaboratively solve math problems on a digital whiteboard
- Physically interact with line graphs
- Manipulate geometric shapes
- Zoom in and highlight important parts of equations
The Smart Board has been a great, visual way for the classroom to meaningfully engage with student work and help make abstract math concepts more concrete.
