Works well!
It sticks to my whiteboard well and erases easily. Makes graphing much easier to demonstrate.

Great for graphing, not very strong magnets
This set of magnetic grids is a neat idea. I wanted to use them on a white board for some of our homeschool work. They have been a fun way to learn.The reason that I removed one star is that the graphs need to be flattened before use. The magnets weren't strong enough to keep the grid flat against the whiteboard. One edge would always lift away. After flattening the grids for a couple days (just placed under a few books), they work much better for us.

Works great and saves time!
This is a great timesaving homeschool find! It's excellent quality and works exactly as it should. Our markers haven't stained a bit. I love having a perfect grid available to use and reuse with dry erase markers. We love it and highly recommend it!

Great addition to any classroom, meeting, or homework sesson!
2023-02-05. Dry Erase Laminated 4-piece Magnetic Graph Board (26" x 26" total)Whiteboard and Dry Erase Markers have long taken the place of Slate and Chalk, and magnetic white boards have opened up the gateway to convenience with accessories. From calendars, chores/tasks, to grocery lists, many products increased the versatility in its use.This graph board is of a pretty decent size, ideal for small to medium sized classrooms or meetings. The set is overall 26" x 26" and consists of four symmetrical pieces that are 13" x 13". Each 13" square piece is defined by 10 equally sized boxes that measure about 1.3". The set comes packaged in a cylindrical container and is well protected, but this means that you need to take it out and let it unroll before use. I let it sit under some textbooks overnight and they were usable next day. Just something to consider if you plan on storing it in the shipping case when not used.A great feature of this magnetic graph set is that the entire backing is a magnet (vs. just putting magnets only in certain areas or around the perimeter). This ensures an even writing surface as well as enforced adhesion to your surface.The fact that this set is four separate pieces is another great feature as it allows you to use it on smaller or portable boards. Personally I have a portable 21" x 16" white board I use to help my kids with math and this fits 1 piece easily and still leaves me room to write out the work on the side.Lastly, the grid lines are printed on and not raised and there is no edging or border. This is another well thought out feature. Not only does it allow for a smooth writing/drawing surface, it prevents any residue from building up anywhere adding to ease of cleaning.The laminated board works great with my Expo markers, but only time will tell how good the laminate is. A cheap coating will oxidize quickly and erasing will leave marks behind whereas a good quality coating will last years before the coating oxidizes. I'll do my best to update this review once oxidation begins to ruin the lamination.With any new product, it should be difficult to find fault, and functionally, I could not find any. It's a simple tool with not much to test. The magnetic backing provides good adhesion and doesn't slide easily once attached, and there is no issue with erasing marks on the surface. But if I had to nit-pick at the small details, I think this product could be improved if there we additional hashed grid lines. As noted earlier, each box is about 1.3" square, adding a hashed line dividing each box in half would allow for better scaling and graph accuracy, especially when only using one piece rather than all four. Another possible nit-pick item would be the possible difficulty in removing the grid board when done. For people without fingernails, it could be difficult to lift off the board. Personally I took a 2" piece of clear packing tape and folded 1/2" of it onto itself (to act as a tab) and affixed the other 1" directly onto the magnetic backing at the outer corner. This quick fix allows you to easily peel a corner of the grid board off.Overall, a great addition to any classroom, meeting room, or the home. Being the harshest of judges I am docking them one star for the two nit-pick items noted above. But keep in mind, these are nit-pick items. What's really more important is durability (how long the laminate will last), but unfortunately, only the test of time can prove that one out...

Teacher approved!
Math teacher here. I have now used these for a few months with students and they are holding up just fine. They magnetize easily and can be used as one giant board, or as 4 small ones. ...they also can just be used on a desk and not magnetized. They wipe clean and aren't yet stained. Very high quality, especially in comparison to some of the other whiteboard products I have used with kids - which, frankly, don't last more than a few weeks. Highly recommend. I will be ordering a few more sets for next year because I like these so much.

Magnets could be stronger but an amazingly portable tool for teaching or tutoring
The magnetic grip on these could be stronger. They slide off easily depending on what they are being stuck too. I tutor so portable whiteboards, especially ones that I can easily show graphs on, are a life saver. However I don't always know what metal surface will be there and I don't always have access to a fridge. Some metal tables and desks, these do not stick too well. I love that this folds up so easily. I don't think I like the separate quadrants as much as I thought I would. Lining them up without any gaps can be difficult on very magnetic surfaces or surfaces that aren't very magnetic. Either it's a fight to get them up to reposition or a fight to get them to stay together. When I have access to a dry erase board, these are one of the greatest tutoring tools I have. I like to split the quadrants up and show the graph next to the equation on the white board. It has really helped my students understand. For that alone, 5 stars.

Pretty Cool and Nifty
Great item to place in classrooms, rooms, fridge, or any place where it is needed. Easy to clean, some white board markers may leave residue. It arrives rolled-up, but it does not affect it's overall function. It comes in four separate sections. It is rather large. It is a nifty item to have.
