Math Wall Linky Party

Little Miss Kindergarten is having a Math and Calendar Wall Linky party, so I thought I'd join up!  Teaching fifth grade, I don't have a calendar wall anymore.  (I do still have the pocket chart calendar displayed, though!)  But I have been thinking about some new ideas for a math bulletin board next year.  Because my students are older and more independent, I was thinking of putting the bulletin board in their hands.  We use Everyday Math - so at the end of each lesson I was thinking of giving one student a colored piece of cardstock (large notecard size 5 x 8) and having them write the most important part of the lesson.  For example, if we learned the formula for area of a triangle, they could write and design that notecard for the bulletin board.  Each chapter we'd start over. 

I've seen some really great ideas on Beth Newingham's Website for a math wall.  She also has great ideas for implementing the math workshop in your classroom.  Something else to think about! :)

Thanks for reading my ideas - if you have any suggestions please help me out!  Otherwise, head on over to Miss Kindergarten and leave your own ideas!
