Math is Everywhere Tile Project: Displaying it Digitally

One of my favorite teaching projects for middle school math is the Math is Everywhere Tile Project that I use at the beginning of each year. The project gets students to see where they see math in the real world by relating to their own interests. I recently discovered another excellent way of displaying the tiles, other than the traditional bulletin board that is pictured below!

First though, what is the project? The idea is really very simple. Each student receives a blank white tile. Using their tile, they must show a place they see math in the real world. Once completed, it makes an excellent bulletin board display! For more information about the project, you can check out the following original post!

Recently, I wanted to explore a way to showcase my student's tiles digitally. I came across a site that works perfect for a project such as this... Padlet! As a teacher, you can create a new padlet, which is essentially a digital bulletin board where students can upload their work. As I am teaching in an online setting this year, I am having my students upload a picture of their tile to the padlet that I created!
