How to Make a Reusable, Interactive, "Math About Me" Anchor Chart

I made this SUPER CUTE interactive "Math About Me" anchor chart for the beginning of the year last year:

I had to make a new one for this fall since my name is changing (EEEK) and I decided to kick it up a notch.

Making these interactive anchor charts is A LOT of work. The measuring, organizing, taping, etc. makes this anchor chart design more time-consuming than usual. Why do it more than once? THis year, I decided to make my chart interactive AND reusable!

1. Size and cut your flaps.

I cut regular cardstock (8.5 x 11) in fourths.

2. Space the flaps accordingly and evenly.

3. Mark the corners once flap placement has been perfected.

4. Laminate flaps.

5. Create your chart.

Include ONLY the title and topics - things that won't change over the years. Feel free to use my ideas!

6. Laminate chart.

7. Tape the flaps on under the topics.

8. Use an Expo or Vis-a-Vis marker to write your math problems on the flaps and the answers under the flaps. Ta da!

I use Vis-a-Vis because it wipes off easily with water or a wet wipe, but it won't come off when a student touches it with curious little fingers!

Finished product for the upcoming year:

Good luck! I'd love to see your finished products... Tag me on Instagram!
