So, the fact that we actually do all grouping symbols which include crazy things like absolute value bars, radicals, and vinculums seems crazy to them. They are also used to pretty much only seeing problems involving parentheses. Order of OperationsĮven though my high school students have been learning about the order of operations since elementary school, I find that they still need a reminder. I made a More Perfect Squares Poster to fix this. My only complaint is that my students often needed to see if a number much higher than 100 was a perfect square. I love the color that these add to my classroom. So I ended up just creating my own version in Publisher so I could type the numbers on top. Clarissa used pre-cut numbers to make hers, but I didn’t have the patience to track any of that down. These perfect squares and cubes posters were inspired by Clarissa Grandi.

This past year, I added positive and negative infinity signs for the first time.

This number line was printed from a PDF file created by Frank Tapson. I frequently see them with their pencils in the air as they count off spaces on the number line. My horizontal number line gets the most use from students. I have two vertical number lines that are hung on opposite walls. I actually have three number line posters hanging up in my room. And, my students really love number lines. This poster gets used an extra amount when we are working through our unit on radicals! Horizontal and Vertical Number Lines I even find myself using it! My students have a prime number chart in their notebooks, but it’s often quicker for them to just glance at the wall. So, a few years ago I made a prime number banner that goes from 2 to 107. My students are frequently asking if a certain number is prime. So, I choose which ones to hang up each year based on which classes I am teaching. I actually made more of these math symbols posters than will fit on my wall.

My students know that these are always on the wall to reference whenever they aren’t quite sure what symbol they are dealing with. The most referenced symbols on these posters are greater than, greater than or equal to, less than, and less than or equal to. These are the decorations that made my students started complaining when I took them down during the last week of school! Math Symbols Posters In a sense, these are classroom must-haves. What was useful? What was cute but ended up being a waste of time? Today I want to share the top ten classroom decorations that my students actually used and referenced on a regular basis.
