Moby tracks progress and gives teachers the data they need in seconds, and teachers across the country have made the numbers come to life with beautiful Moby-inspired bulletin boards. From hallway murals boasting Moby 100% Clubs to Walls of Fame by grade level, or just simple badge-tracking charts, these boards have gotten kids inspired, motivated, and excited, starting on Day One. We've picked our top 30 ideas for a MobyMax bulletin board that will be perfect for your classroom or hallway. **1. MAXimize your classroom corner! ** ![Katie Myers Bulletin Board](https://blog.mobymax.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Katie%20Myers%20Bulletin%20Board.jpg?width=960&name=Katie%20Myers%20Bulletin%20Board.jpg) *This Badge Center and these Fact Fluency charts are absolutely fantastic!

This is my second year utilizing MobyMax. On the board, students will graph their fact fluency and badges earned. They will use stickers to graph their badges, and I will have a monthly contest to encourage hard work.”* *~ Stacey Kestler Robinson* **3. Moby Math Masters** ![Bobby Brown](https://blog.mobymax.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Bobby%20Brown.jpg?width=960&name=Bobby%20Brown.jpg) *“I teach 4th and 5th grade math. We’ve been in school 6 days, and I’ve already filled up the outside hallway with Fact Fluency certificates. My kiddos can’t get enough! We do a monthly contest for each grade level, and the top 3 students get breakfast from the restaurant of their choice brought in by me. The contest includes Math and Fact Fluency. I’ve pressed MobyMax so much this summer that my Principal just renewed our school subscription.” ~ Bobby Brown* **4. Moby Badges, Fact Fluency, and Monthly Classroom Contest.** *![MobyMax_Badges_and_Bulletin_Board.jpg](https://blog.mobymax.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Bulletin_Boards/MobyMax_Badges_and_Bulletin_Board.jpg?width=516&height=261&name=MobyMax_Badges_and_Bulletin_Board.jpg)* *“I am still doing a sticker chart for badges. That is the chart in the middle. Students will wear the lanyard for a day for each badge. Every ten will earn a prize. As a class we will determine the prizes.... something different for every 10 badges. On the left are Fact Fluency charts. Students are encouraged to spend 20 minutes a week practicing their facts. Each Friday, a sticker is earned if the time is completed. When a row is filled, the student earns a juice box. Fact practice is regular homework in our school, but instead of flashcards, this year, fact practice will be digital.* *Finally, on the right side of the board, the monthly contest will be posted. The winner(s) from the previous month will have their photos displayed.” ~ Jen Lindquist* **5.

My board is for contests in MobyMax, and the student that scores the highest will have their name on a star that hangs from the curtain rods by fishing string:). A student will also win a prize every month. I’m looking forward to a very exciting year incorporating MobyMax and all this program has to offer!:)”* ~ *Christina Jansen* **8.

Those students that achieve 100% mastery of all 5th grade math standards are inducted into their Moby 100% Club (1 day celebration in the class and a huge party with all club members at the end of the year)." ~ Mr. Moffitt* **9.

I use MobyMax for remediation, and it's wonderful!! Since my classroom theme is "surfing into math", I made surf board magnets for each student. I named the reward system "Moby Hang Ten Club". The top ten badge earners for each class are displayed on the dry erase boards each week. Plus, the class with the most "good vibes" gets rewarded with an extra 10 minutes of game time. I love how the MobyMax whale logo tied right into my class decor!”* ~* Kendra Sands Morgan* **11.  I Scream for Ice-Cream!** ![MobyMax_Bulletin_Board_3.jpg](https://blog.mobymax.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Bulletin_Boards/MobyMax_Bulletin_Board_3.jpg?width=516&height=478&name=MobyMax_Bulletin_Board_3.jpg) **![MobyMax_Lanyards.jpg](https://blog.mobymax.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Bulletin_Boards/MobyMax_Lanyards.jpg?width=257&name=MobyMax_Lanyards.jpg)** *"Students earn a sticker for their chart for every badge earned. They also wear the Moby Lanyard for the day. For every 10 badges, students earn a free ice cream cone from a local shop or a selection from my prize box. We have been doing this since the first week of school. I used actual Moby badges for decorations." **~ **Jen Croyle Lindquist* **12.  Spin the Wheel!** ![MobyMax_Badges.png](https://blog.mobymax.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Bulletin_Boards/MobyMax_Badges.png?width=516&height=542&name=MobyMax_Badges.png)  *“Here is my Moby board for this school year. I will be tracking students’ badge progress with the sticker chart. They will receive a prize of their choice from the reward spinner for their first 5 badges and then every 10 badges after that.

We use it to track how many lessons have been passed in a month. If a student reaches ten before the month is over, a Sonic drink or slush of their choice is delivered to them during lunch!* *2. - This is our Fact Master wall. As students master facts in Fact Fluency, th**ey are added to the wall and receive a prize for their accomplishment. * *3. - For major landmarks (like 1 or 2 years of progress) students have the opportunity to take photo booth-style photos for our Amazing Growth Wall. These photos are posted in the room under the amount of progress they've accomplished and are published in our classroom newsletter for parents."* *~ Melissa McCraw* **19.

Members of the 100 Club get their picture added to the bulletin board, and they also get to eat lunch with Assistant Principal Jacob Messer.

As teachers, we love the individualized, timed fluency practice and how it provides instant feedback for our students. We think MobyMax is a fun and engaging way to build success.

It is a wonderful motivation to go along with a great program. Each child has a badge necklace where they put their badges/trading cards as they earn them. The necklaces hang on a hook under their name. After their necklaces start to fill up, they have trading card sleeves to put their older badge cards in so the necklaces can be replaced by new badges. They get so excited when it pops up on their screen that they have earned a new badge that they will show me and grab their new badge/trading card to add to their necklace. I have the badges descriptions posted around the outside border, so they can learn more about each badge. They love to wear their badges around their neck. I also track fluency with a sticker chart." ~ Hillary Ray* **25.

For the Fact Fluency, the students have a different color clothespin for each operation:* *Pink =addition, teal=subtraction, green= multiplication, and purple=division. * *We spend about 10-15 minutes four times a week on Fact Fluency.* *Each week I track each student’s progress and move up the clothespin based on the student’s percentage of mastery. When the student reaches 100%, the clothespin goes on the operation sign, and then he or she starts the next operation.* *For the badges, students earn a sticker for every new Moby badge. For every 5 stickers, students earn a small prize.* *Sean, the student in the picture, mastered all four operations." ~ Kristi Brewer* **26.
