From math to spelling and geography, this chalkboard globe can be used in a variety of ways. The chalkboard surface can be used to actually create a map of the world, write math problems, etc. The globe's chalkboard surface can be wiped clean and reused. The globe is fashioned out of stainless steel with an iron base, it measures 10.5 inches wide by 9.5 inches deep by 16.5 inches high and comes with two pieces of chalk. This chalkboard globe is perfect for any classroom.
