Math and Smartboards

How can Smartbords make math (a subject not liked by most people) more fun? There are endless possibilities when it comes to Smartboards... that is why they have the name they do. Math can be one of the most boring subjects because you are constantly solving equations; at least in science you can do different experiments and in social studies you can learn about different countries. I think out of all the subjects Smartboards could be beneficial too, Math is probably the highest on the list.

Some things you can do on a Smartboard to help make Math go smoother is: make a chart to graph on, use a table to have a matching game, use the protractor to show different angles at the drop of a hat that are perfectly correct, Smartboard has a ton of symbols ranging from derivative signs to matrice tables. There are algebra, derivative, statistics, geometry, matrices, trig, and sets categories filled with different things to pull up to help make a lesson easier.

The Smartboard can really be helpful to the teacher because it will display all these symbols neatly and properly without a lot of effort. This way the teacher doesn't have to take up thirty minutes writing equations on the board; it can be pre-made and laid out exactly how the teacher wishes. It makes a lot of sense; teachers should at least give it a try to see if it helps the students pay attention and learn better.
