Need Buliten board ideas for middle school math?

Question

grades 6, 7, and 8

I am not creative, please help me with creative ideas

Answer 1

I would have pictures of different math tools that they will use, for example: rulers, protractors, calculators, measuring tape, etc. And then i would have different math vocabulary  that they will be using during the school year.

Answer 2

Each year I read my students the book titled Math Curse.  It's about a teacher who tells his students that pretty much everything can be viewed in terms of math.  Then the narrator starts seeing math everywhere and it drives him crazy.

After reading the book, I put up the words from the book (I can't remember them verbatim right now).  The kids then bring me an item I can easily attach to the board with a math problem written on an index card.  These are placed on the board for other student to try and solve.  For example:  a candy bar wrapper.  The question might be "If every person in Mrs. ???'s class ate three candy bars, how much fat would they have consumed?"  Or, a highlighter and the question might be, "If highlighters were placed end-to-end all the way to the moon, how many highlighters would be needed?"

The kids love it and the book is really cool.

Answer 3

Oh this is so perfect.  I was looking for interactive bullion boards and came across this:
