We LOVE using manipulatives during Math
in our house...

can be about anything that you can
count, sort, group, compare, etc.
(I mean, we do use Math-U-See as our
main Math curriculum...)

ReplyDeleteSo I'm not the only packrat who has all sorts of things she's introducing to her kids from her childhood.
Cute post! Great idea about the circular pill case, I'll have to track one of those down.
ReplyDeleteI love the circular pill case idea. And I love how he is sorting different things, in different ways, using different tools, good way to achieve transfer of knowledge!
ReplyDeleteVery cute!!
ReplyDeleteI totally forgot about Pogs -- neat idea!
I wish I had a pog for a different purpose but I love all the natural manipulatives! I'm a manipulative junkie so I buy way too many when I can just find things around the house!
