Questions teachers ask
How long should I set the timer for math practice?
Ten to fifteen minutes works well for most practice sessions. Adjust based on the problems and your class’s needs.
Can students use the drawing board from their own devices?
If you share the screen set, students can access and use their own drawing boards for individual work.
How do I make sure all students participate?
Invite volunteers to roll the dice or solve problems on the board. Use the checklist to keep everyone on track.
