Book 2. Mini-whiteboards

Here are the resources referenced in the Tips for Teachers guide to… Mini-whiteboards…

Want to know more?

As you know, I can only speak from the perspective of a maths teacher. So, here are some blogs on mini-whiteboards from teachers of other subjects:

1. Science – Adam Boxer
2. English – David Didau
3. Economics – Mason Davies
4. History – Mr Thorton

• Along with this video, this thread from Adam Boxer is also great. Read the comments for alternate views
• Maths teacher Craig Latimir shares how mini-whiteboards are an essential tool for responsive teaching
• This blog post is great when considering when not to use mini-whiteboards
