This year, I decided to jazz up my math manipulatives and math centers. I acquired a yellow shelf from another teacher which was the perfect size to meet my needs. Then, I went to Wal-Mart and found clear Sterilite boxes to fit in each compartment. Each set of manipulatives went into a box. Since the boxes are clear, I opted not to label them. There are 12 tubs of manipulatives on the upper shelves. On the bottom row are four more tubs that I'll be using for individualized math centers.
Beside the shelf, I have a small table with a few chairs. My objective for this area is to have students freely access manipulatives as necessary to help with math comprehension as well as to have a comfortable place to work on math activities.
The jars on top of the shelf have one, two, or three counting items. I plan to use these for counting, skip counting, and counting on throughout the school year. I'll eventually add jars going as far as ten. It will be a fun addition to our classroom.
As always, keep it class-y, ya'll!
