Can anyone give me ideas for a Math Bulletin Board?

I want to have a bulletin board for my math classroom, I teach 6th-8th grades. Thanks

1. The website below gives you links to lots of math bulletin board ideas for middle school. A favorite site is the second link.
2. We always have students assist with creating the boards. Here are some ideas we used on our team:
   
   
   
   Math bumper stickers. A large drawing of a car in the middle of the board. Students made bumper sized oak tag with a math term, definition, and illustrations.
   
   
   
   Tessellations

3. Don't create extra work for yourself. Look at what you've done with your students and find a creative way to display it. Or...think of an ongoing project that will build the bulletin board over time. We've done things like this and it provides all of our students a reason to look forward to coming to class every day. Engage your students in it and allow them to guide you. It can be really overwhelming to take on this task, in addition to teaching. Utilize your best resources---your students---and get them to work! :)
