After looking everywhere for a MADTSHIRTS classroom display, I was unsuccessful in finding what I wanted to put on my classroom walls. Therefore, I have created my own. I hope I have saved you some time in sprucing up your display boards for the new school year.

The resource consists of 3 PDF documents:

1. MADTSHIRTS - Each letter takes up one whole page to put at the top of the display board.
2. Every element has its own page with a brief description and an image - place under the big letters.
3. Key words for each element - place underneath description page as an A3 sheet or cut up.

With this resource, you can pick and choose what element key words you would like to use.
Best to print in colour and on A3 paper so students can access the display from across the classroom.
