Free Math Bulletin Board Ideas for Middle School
Classroom decorations suitable for middle school math can be difficult to find, but I’ve gathered a few of my favorites. The best part is that each of these are free to download, print, and create in your classroom. These decorations are great for motivating middle school students. They are fun, colorful, and appropriate for older students.
The Struggle is Real
This classroom decoration puts a twist on the familiar saying, “The struggle is real,” and says, “The struggle is when real learning happens.” It’s a simple way to motivate students to have a growth mindset and work through tough problems. We want to encourage productive struggle, and this serves as an important reminder.
Math Makes Sense
It’s a message every math teacher wants students to know: Math makes sense! These posters show math concepts with visuals to help them make sense. It’s a great way to spark some math discussions and reinforce important math ideas.
We must think in order to learn.
This simple reminder encourages students to think! The letters are easy to print on any color paper, cut out, and attach to a bulletin board, classroom wall, or cabinets as seen in this classroom.
Math Bulletin Board Letters
These bulletin board letters can be used to spell anything you want in your math classroom! They each have math supplies doodles, and you can print them on any color paper. You might even have your students color them in as a brain break or mindfulness activity.
Grab the whole alphabet to decorate your math classroom!
Student Work Coming Soon
Student work always makes the perfect classroom decoration! However, instead of having blank walls at the beginning of the year, use these posters to show that students work is coming soon!
I hope these ideas help you prepare and decorate your math classroom!
