FLEXIBLE CLASSROOM

This year I decided to experiment with a flexible classroom. Math can be very uncomfortable for some students. That added to all the middle school hormones and drama it can get even worse. So I decided to try to make my middle school math classroom as comfortable as possible.

I am curious, are you fan? Let me know.
