Why use a smartboard for math?


 * 1) interactive manipulatives - graphs, piecharts etc at your finger tips.
 * 2) dynamic visualizations - simulate a concept for understanding eg. []
 * 3) visual appealing - colorful, clear and bright visuals that can help students connect math to the real world.
 * 4) lesson organization - simple flow and no more writing on chalkboard, a complete record possible for every lesson.
 * 5) time saver - no more writing out the questions, assignment or review materials.
 * 6) enjoyment - it suits the digital learners we have.

Taking Smartboards further in the MATH Classroom

When students solve math problems on the SMARTboard don't erase their work! We learn from our mistakes! Simply clone the page and show multiple solutions from multiple students. • Export entire lesson as pdf • Copy embed code and paste into post on class blog or post on slideshare.
