We especially love using thinkboard templates in our math class and our kids love using them too!
They really help kids feel ‘smarter’ at math because they are not answer centered and give students the chance to demonstrate how much they know, what they need to learn next about a concept.
They are perfect for developing, exploring and practicing a wide range of mathematical skills including:
- visualizing
- classifying
- organizing
- grouping
- sorting
Thinkboards are useful tools for teachers. They can be used to easily differentiate tasks and are a great assessment and grading tool. Win Win!
Here’s why they are our go to tool for teaching numeracy:
- Great for developing vocabulary and math language.
- Easy to differentiate student needs.
- Open-ended Tasks.
- Perfect for groups, partner work and individuals.
- Provide higher order thinking opportunities.
- Identify areas of misunderstanding.
- Hands-on and fun.
- Improves levels of success for students!
