Math manipulatives make math FUN!
Children of all ages ENJOY using these concrete tools to make sense of the problems they are given. They especially help our younger learners who are learning new math concepts for the first time. A relationship is built when shown visually how to solve problems and given opportunities to “try” something using math manipulatives. With repeated practice and “PLAY” with manipulatives,
math fluency develops.

This is my rotation board for math center time.
Each day I rotate the wheel and the students have a choice between 2 math activities.
THANK YOU Kindergarten Smorgasboard Blog for this management system. It works GREAT in my classroom!

| This is how I store 3 of the math manipulative game units. I LOVE this shelf! The students can take a bin off the shelf and get right to work around the classroom. |
 |
| The "I Can" charts are clipped to a clip board. |
 |
| All the materials for that game are stored in the bin. |
 |
The recording sheets are under the "I can" sheet.
How SMART is that!?!
|
The games are SIMPLE!
The games are similar to some of the ones in her linking cubes, colored titles, and teddy bear units. This makes kids very independent and feel successful! Isn't that one of our goals as kindergarten teachers!?!

There is so much learning that takes place
between friends. I just LOVE IT!
