After a year and a half away from the classroom, both the students and I need a classroom that is safe, comfortable, and a great place to learn. For a middle school math classroom, individual whiteboards, graph boards, markers, erasers, and other materials are essential for student feedback, promoting student accountability, and formative assessments. All math standards and many mathematical practices can easily be covered with the use of individual white boards. These can include solving multi step percent and ration problems using proportional thinking (7.RP.A.3) while attending to precision (SMP #6) and using models to show your thinking (SMP #4).
The light covers, headphones, and kick bands will reduce the sensory demands on students, allowing them to focus on their learning and not distractions from their classroom environment.
