What goes in yours?
I know some use curriculum with their own maniplulatives and some have none, but what about adding to it, or other types of Math Work Box ideas. Get creative, think about what is around your house.
Pom-Poms- Counters, Sorting, Graphing
Popsicle Sticks and Beans- To make base 10 blocks and hundred blocks
Measuring Cups in many shapes and sizes- Provide many different things to measure like, water, colored water, rice, beans, flour, corn starch, and other items. You can provide paper and graph the differences between the materials.
Measuring Spoons- Same as above.
Measuring Bowls - Same as above.
Refrigerator magnets from businesses (Cut them up and glue them to manipulatives.)
Different sized boxes
AAA has free maps available at the end of the year.
Buttons in different sizes and shapes.
A loop of thread stretched over two pencils (or a pencil and a toothpick) becomes a compass.
Nature's manipulatives - including twigs, leaves, nuts, berries
Toothpicks
Beans in different colors and shapes.
Plus many, many more.. go look add them to the Math Work Box see what your child comes up with.
Here are a couple of ideas to get those Math gears moving:
Geometry dominoes would also be a great idea. Make domino cards. Begin by listing all kinds of geometry words and have pictures to match each one. Examples: one half could be a square, the other half could have the word rectangle, one half could be a picture of a cone, the other half could be the word rectangular prism. Be sure your words match your pictures.
You could also make dominoes for fractions. The fraction would be on one half of the card, and a picture would be on the other half. The pictures could be different shapes that are shaded to match the fractions you are using...circles, squares, rectangles, pentagons, etc.
Math Math file folder games and centers, add them to your Math Box
Here are some fun things to put into and sites to use with your Math Boxes

ReplyDeleteChildren learn math in different ways. ANY way to make it fun and exciting is a good thing (as long as they learn the concept).

I came across your site through the teaching/homeschool section of Picketfence and thought I would share a creative writing site for kids (and adults) that I have just set up - come and see the "I Wonder Chronicles for literacy and creativity" - use the prompts and add to the wonder!

ReplyDeleteI don't know if it's just me or if perhaps everybody else encountering issues with your blog.
ReplyDeleteIt appears as if some of the written text within your
