I have some gifted students who are ADHD and would benefit from flexible seating options I've been reading about! They're writing competition questions and mentoring younger peers but some can't be still more than a couple of minutes at a time. I'd like to provide a few yoga ball seats for those who need them. We've tried it in a few classes, and maybe 5-10% of students improve focus on upper level math when they're able to wiggle in place rather than roam the room! Students in calculus will retain more information as well! There are lots of options, all different prices, but these are less than $20 each, and have feet that collapse when you sit, and pop out when you stand to keep the ball in place. They'll support up to 300 pounds so should be durable for my most active students!
