Thanks for having an interest in my presentation. My students have had success with conceptual understanding of math as they have written and mashed up their thoughts.

They like to do these assignments and take ownership over their thoughts. I did not have this success with paper and pen tasks.

Thanks again. Check out the unprojects. This is where students take complete control of their learning.
