Students spend a lot of time confined to a hard chair at a desk. Research has shown that when students have the power to choose their seat they are more engaged, and happier. Not only is the flexible seating good for the body, but it is also good for the mind. Flexible seating can lead to improved grades, and more meaningful and invigorating discussions. My math students deserve a learning environment that is comfortable and works best for their learning style. My students will use the requested bean bag chair, standing desks, ball chairs, and stools to choose the seating options that best fit their learning styles. My classroom currently consists of tables and chairs. Sitting in this confined desk space is uncomfortable. My students are normal 12 and 13 year old students that need movement. They get fidgety and unfocused the longer they are in these types of desk all day. I began to notice the more I allowed them the option to get out of their seats they became more focused.
