Mimio electronic whiteboard and the associated software.
A large whiteboard to use to project the Mimio screen onto
and to write comments on. Also can print copies of the
Mimio work done in class as well as saving it for later use.
Handouts related to the identification of terms, exponents,
coefficients, constants, variables, expressions and
equations would be needed.
Handouts identifying Howard Gardner’s Multiple
Intelligences
A magnetic whiteboard and the magnetic letters which
little kids play with in their little alphabet-reader toys. Use
the magnetic letters to demonstrate the concepts of terms,
coefficients, variables, exponents, expressions, and
equations. Have the students demonstrate their grasp of
the understanding of the concepts related to terms using
this magnetic whiteboard.
