Let's talk math bulletin boards! As a math teacher, I wanted a bulletin board that was easy for the students to reference during math workshop. I tried to think of the references that I needed to start the year and created this bulletin board!

Teacher HACK:
I simply printed out all the reference material on colored paper so I didn't waste too much ink!

Place Value:
No matter how many times students see and learn the value of each place, I feel like I still have to reteach it multiple times throughout the year. Well, now I can just point to the board and they can decipher what the value is of the number. Decimals are especially tricky in 5th grade so it helps to see how each decimal fits into the place value system.

Math Workshop:
I like to put a problem solving station in my math workshop close to the bulletin board because it has so many helpful tips like key words and how to break down a word problem.

Problem Solving:
The CUBES problem solving method has been a game changer for my students. Students struggle so much to slow down and actually READ the word problem. I teach them to read each problem once for an overview and then start annotating the problem by using the CUBES problem solving method.
I also love having the KEY WORDS handy for students to reference. It gives students a hint as to which operation is needed in a word problem using the key words. I include a smaller version of these posters to include in interactive notebooks as well.

Finally, order of operations! PEMDAS is a fun acronym for students to use when they are solving expressions with multiple operations. I tried to make it even more clear that multiplication & division are done in order from left to right as well as addition and subtraction. Check out this part of the bulletin board for FREE HERE.
Also included in the bundle:
- A Math Get to Know You activity
Are there any more reference materials that you would like added to the bundle? Let me know in the comments!
