Typical Use
Slates are ideal for "show me" teaching: the teacher asks a question, every pupil writes an answer, and all boards are held up together so the teacher can check the whole class in seconds. They are equally useful for handwriting practice, spelling drills, mental arithmetic, sketching a quick diagram in science, or working out rough calculations before copying the final answer into a notebook. Because both faces are painted, one side can hold a model example while the other is used for practice.
Wipe the board with a dry cloth or duster after each task; for a deeper clean, use a damp cloth and let the slate dry before writing again, since chalk does not mark well on a wet surface. Store slates flat or upright in a rack so the edges are not chipped. Schools listing lab equipments for school and classroom aids in one purchase often order slates together with chalk and dusters.
