Currently, my classroom has one primary whiteboard area at the "front" of the room, and a secondary smaller whiteboard on one side wall. However, I have seen how powerful it can be to have whiteboards on all walls (in a full 360 degrees!) It may not sound like it would make much of a difference, but it truly is. When students work in 360 degrees, they aren't stuck sitting in a desk, giving them more freedom of movement - which they desperately need! They also are able to easily see what their peers do to solve a problem, which can help those who are stuck and unsure how to proceed or what to try. A third advantage to 360 math is that the students naturally collaborate with others near them, enriching their learning as they help each other through a task. Finally, it becomes very easy for the teacher to quickly assess the class and see who is struggling and needs help. To try out 360 Math in my classroom, I purchased temporary and inexpensive "white board contact paper". While that solution works short-term, the sheets are thin and easily torn. After using these sheets for just a month, I was seeing wear and tear. I'd like to have a more durable solution that my students can benefit from year after year after year! The whiteboards I would like to purchase are 2 ft x 3 ft in size, and are sturdy and durable. Each board would accommodate two students working side by side, and I have wall space that could easily fit 10 boards, for a total of 20 students. With the pre-existing whiteboards in my classroom, I would be able to accommodate the rest of my class, which is typically 28-32 students in size.
