chalk board

Classroom writing panel

A chalkboard is a smooth, dark surface for writing on with chalk, traditionally found in classrooms.

Teachers write lessons on the chalkboard; students solve problems there.

The term has largely given way to whiteboard as dry-erase markers replaced chalk in most settings.

Also spelled as one word: chalkboard.
