Vertical Non-Permanent Surfaces (VNPS) allows students to decrease a fear in writing math, because it can be easily erased. Students became very interested and excited when I told them to create a rectangular prism and put dimensions around the figure for their peers to solve, using an erasable marker on their desk. They excitedly wrote a problem out and walked around the room looking at the potential questions they can solve. Once I rang a bell they jumped into the closest seat and began solving the question!
