Game Changer!

This book has engaged my students in their own learning. I don't use it every day yet... but it is great to throw whiteboard days in to lessons. It gets students talking about the math that we so desperately want them to learn. The students now ask for Whiteboard days that they can work out problems together. And on the days that I do whiteboard learning, these are 100% engagement days (every student participates). I teach Juniors and Seniors in high school so anyone who has those upper grades knows it's not always easy to get 100% participation.
