So the year is wrapping up and I always like to reflect on what has worked and what didn't. This spring I went from typical seating in my classroom to flexible seating (allowing my kids to choose their work space at various styles of seating around the room). I have LOVED this new formation, but with the new space comes challenges of organization. Luckily, I LOVE to organize.. seriously I dream about it... ha ha...
Anyway, with my new arrangement in mind I decided that having a math toolkit assigned to each kid with all the math tools we would need throughout the year would really help with storage and transitions. So I created these kits and I am super happy with the final product!
Included in the kit is:
- 2D shapes
- 3D shapes
- Clock
- Lakeshore: Clocks
- These are the exact clocks I used, but I have had mine forever.
- 1 of each coin
- Place Value Block
- 100, 10, 1
- Amazon: Base Ten Blocks
- Lakeshore: Base Ten Blocks
- Also, these are not the exact blocks I have, but a good set to have.
- A hundreds chart
- I simply made one, printed it small and backed on cardstock and laminated. My kids use these all the time with vis-à-vis pens at the beginning of the year.
I even attached the labels I made below if you want to create your own little toolkits! I am especially excited about the key inside the kit. FREEBIE!
Have a great week and a fun end of the year!!
