Mini Whiteboards
Mini boards work because every student answers at once and the teacher sees the whole room in a glance — it is a formative assessment tool more than a writing surface. Buy in class sets with markers and erasers included, since mismatched consumables are what kills them by week three. Check the surface: melamine is cheapest but ghosts within a term, while a harder coating stays clean far longer. See full-size whiteboards for the front of the room.
