Cobblebank Campus - Maths On The Table

Year 8 Cobblebank students enthusiastically used specially designed tables with a whiteboard surface to practice percentages in their maths class last week.

In the lead-up to their second assessment task for the term, the activity increased collaboration among students, encouraged discussion and group annotation and enabled students to demonstrate key working-out skills in a very visual setting.

Teachers could also look for common misconceptions and understand students' concept knowledge on a larger scale.

Year 8D student Senadee had this to say:

“This was a really good experience to help us revise our math lessons before the upcoming test. We could work with our peers on whiteboard surface tables, as our teacher helped us with the questions. We were also able to concentrate more on our work since the atmosphere in the collaborative space at that time was amazing. It was a fun experience for everyone - we could all sit together at the same table and share our knowledge.
