In years past, we introduced algebra with the Algebra As Child’s Play method, using manipulatives to help students to see an abstract concept. Now that we have the SMARTBoard, we have used the Hands-On Equations Smart Notebook page and along with using the manipulatives at their desks, students worked out problems on the SMARTBoard. Students were able to have more than one visual aid while working out algebraic equations and found great success in “seeing” the abstract.



Everyday Math media type="custom" key="7986124" align="center" I use the Smartboard daily for math. Everyday Math lessons are implemented with a hands-on and visual approach through the use of the Smartboard. I use it across the curriculum and always for reviewing skills/concepts prior to tests. It is an essential, motivational tool that utilizes visual, tactile, and kinesthetic senses.

**Differentiated Instruction ** The SMART Board is being used in my classroom as a way to get my students involved in lessons. The SMART Board also allows me to meet the needs of different intelligences in my classroom. Visual students are able to see the information presented to them, while tactile students have the chance to manipulate activities on the board during instruction. Students are actively engaged and excited to be able to use the SMART Board


 * Standards Review/Games **



I try to use a SMARTBoard lesson at least once a week to cover math standards. (place value, order of operations, fractions, decimals, metric, triangles, decimals, classifying polygons, integers, equations, etc) I have also used the SMARTBoard for my review games at the end of social studies to help students practice for the chapter test.


 * SMART Response **



I have used the SMARTBoard in a variety of ways. I have used it to create quick quizzes and have the students use the SMARTResponse system. It gives me immediate feedback about who has the information and who still needs some help. Every student is accountable by having to answer the question instead of just the student who is called on. We look at the percentage correct for the class without singling out students. I have also used the templates to create review games for science and reading units, everyone is actively involved in the games.
