Our Favourite Math Manipulatives:
Snap cubes (the ones that connect on all faces)
Double sided counters (red and yellow)
Pattern blocks (wooden) and Fraction blocks (with extra)
Math Racks for early grades NUMBER SENSE: LOOK THROUGH WEBSITE FOR MORE IDEAS
Algebra Tiles (x only) JUNIOR HIGH
Learning Resources brand animal counters (for counting in younger grades or problem solving)
Numbered dice (6, 8, 10 and 12 sided – a mix, you can also get blank ones to write on)
Fraction circles (magnetic ones)
Playing cards
CASINO (cheap)
My Favourite Math Games:
Note: We didn’t include things that specific grades may require like clocks or Miras for example or basics like measuring tapes and meter sticks, or geometry tools like protractors and compasses. We also think teachers in the early grades need lots of things to count like buttons, sticks, rocks, pompoms, toys, and lots of things to build like blocks, circuits, Magformers, etc… Don’t forget the story books about math!
