360 Degree Math Classroom

This grant funds professional development in the 360 degree math teaching method and for the installation of white boards in the game room at Murray Avenue School allowing the space to be used as a 360 degree classroom. In this space, all students will work out of their chairs and in their own personalized learning frame on one of the white boards while the teacher circulates and sees the learning as it happens. The teacher can see student misconceptions immediately and provide feedback as well as consistent, positive support to students in realtime. Students also initiate peer-to-peer conversations to clarify and prove his or her thinking, which fosters both collaboration and creativity among the students.
