SMARTBoard Math Tools are Here!

Visualize a world of technology in which you write a mathematical equation by hand and then see it instantly graphed before your eyes. This is not a future technological event, just the SMARTBoard Math Tools Add-On that is making its debut at The Learning Center. Our industrious and determined math teacher, Mrs. Bastin, has been learning all of its capabilities and is about to unleash its power upon her students. 

With its implementation in her classroom, student interactivity will be taken to a new level as a result of students being given the ability to create their own equations, interact with them and see the results almost instantaneously. With the Math Tools Add-On Mrs. Bastin can have students examine relationships between tables and graphs, have them plot a line of best fit, create line graphs and do much more! Students are already abuzz with excitement regarding its use in the classroom.   

So next time you pass by her room don’t expect to see her engaged in direct instruction. Mrs. Bastin will be the facilitator or as they say the “guide-on-the-side” as students are given the power to control how they interact with higher level mathematics.
