What do you get when you combine paper and a whiteboard? The ultimate tool to engage students who need to work through problems. Wipebook’s unique surfaces mimic the feel of a whiteboard, allowing students to approach challenges with confidence and freedom—something regular paper can’t quite offer. When students are tackling tough problems, having an erasable surface like a whiteboard can make all the difference.
Wipebooks are paper-based notebooks and flipcharts that erase just like a whiteboard. With multiple sheets, they offer plenty of space for students to explore and solve problems without running out of room. Their portable size means students can take their problem-solving skills wherever they go. These simple yet effective whiteboard notebooks and flipcharts are perfect for teachers who need a whiteboard handy at all times. WORK. SAVE. ERASE. RESTART. (Team Wipebook, 2023).
Wipebooks are a fun and engaging way to get students thinking actively!
I used Wipebooks with my students to tackle equation word problems—a challenge that often feels intimidating for math learners. Not only did my students excel at the task, but they loved it too, and kept asking, "When can we do this again?"
