Step One
Cover bulletin board with Ledger Stone Fadeless® Paper. To do this, first cut enough paper to cover the board. Find the center of the paper you’ve cut. Roll in edges in and secure at the bottom of the rolls with binder clips. Start securing the paper to the board by stapling at the top center. Roll the paper out to the left or right, stapling as you go. Roll out the remainder of the paper to the other side stapling across the top. Then staple down the sides and bottom, smoothing the paper as you go along. Cut off excess paper around edges.
Step Two
Prepare bulletin board components. Print the math words, math symbols, and "Let's Talk Math!" copy on the Tru-Ray® White Construction Paper and cut away excess paper. Then glue the addition and multiplication words to the Tru-Ray® Warm Assorted Construction Paper and the subtraction and division words to the Tru-Ray® Cool Assorted Construction Paper. Glue the addition and multiplication math symbols to the circles you have printed using 1 sheet of each color of the Tru-Ray® Warm Assorted Construction Paper. Glue the subtraction and division symbols to the circles you have printed using 1 sheet of each color of the Tru-Ray® Cool Assorted Construction Paper. Trim down the word rectangles leaving approximately a 1/2-inch border on all sides. Print out the circle template on one of each of the colors of the Tru-Ray® Warm Assorted Construction Paper and Tru-Ray® Cool Assorted Construction Paper. Cut out all the circles. Tape the math words to the board using double sided tape.
Step Three
Next tape the symbols on the circles to the board using double-sided tape.
Step Four
Tape the "Let's Talk Math!" copy to the board using double-sided tape.
Step Five
Lastly, using the leftover cut circles, randomly tape the circles around the edge of the board using double-sided tape to create a fun border of colorful dots.
