Advancing Problem Solving Skills Through the Use of Interactive Whiteboards in the Math Classroom
Abstract
Our team addressed individual learning styles by building lessons that actively involved students. Drawing out the process skills and incorporating them into daily lessons has been challenging, yet, very worthwhile and productive. This project gave us a clear focus on the math standards and a new way to gain student interest through differentiation and technology and resulted in more student engagement with math instruction. We found the Promethean Collaborative Classroom System allowed us to present meaningful math lessons that included instruction in process skills and real time assessment that resulted in increase in some math concepts. Students demonstrated problem solving strategies and their thinking in the solution process.
