How to Set up a Math Classroom

Setting up your math classroom is an important way of creating an ideal learning environment for your students. Students traditionally find math class to be difficult, so a more inviting and colorful math classroom appearance will serve to relieve the students' anxiety and help facilitate an eagerness in them to perform well. A well set-up math classroom should be cheery and inspiring, full of well-illustrated mathematical symbols, concepts and formulas to serve as references for the students.
