If you need individual size whiteboards (9x11) and enough for the entire classroom, I recommend this method suggested in several of our resources. 

1) Go to local hardware store (i.e. HomeDepot, Lowe's, etc.)

2) Ask for melamine board, tile board, shower tile board (white).  You will need to purchase an entire sheet.

3)  Ask a store cleark to them cut into smaller pieces (i.e. 9x 11).  You should be able to get 20+ boards from each sheet.

4) Treat the edges and round the corners one by one.

5) Each sheet can be as low as $9 up to $15. 

"WHERE TO GET THEM
One of the appeals of whiteboards is the ease in which you can make individual boards for your students. Like mini-chalkboards, these are great for practicing spelling words and math problems, in addition to individual work. While chalkboards were easy to make by using chalkboard paint, making the whiteboards may even be easier. You can simply buy the boards in large pieces (most come in rectangles four by eight feet) and have them cut into smaller boards. They are called white tile board, melamine, or simply whiteboards. Most teachers suggest cutting them into squares that are one foot by one foot. This way, you can get 32 good-sized boards. We checked with Lowe's, a local home improvement store. They sell the boards for $8.99 a piece and will cut them for free."
