Traditional Rows seating plan for 10 students
Paired blocks of desks facing the screen, split by a center aisle. This version is built for a class of 10.
How the seats are placed
Students face the screen in 3 rows. A full row seats 4, split into two blocks by one center aisle, with a teacher desk in front of the first row.
For 10 students, the plan uses 3 rows of seats, and the fullest row seats 4 and the shortest seats 2. The editable grid is 7 cells wide and 9 cells tall, counting the front of the room. A center aisle runs through the student block.
Rows keep every face pointed at one board. That is what you want for worked examples, silent reading, and any lesson where a second conversation is a distraction. The center aisle is there so you can reach a student in the middle without climbing over a desk.
