Magenta Posted October 14, 2004 Posted October 14, 2004 I have been asked to make a wish list of Maths resources. I've taken over a Reception classroom that is very poorly equipped. What are your best used resources?
Guest Posted October 14, 2004 Posted October 14, 2004 Number sacks like story sacks but with different number rhymes, you can make these yourself or you can buy them will sort out a company for you all my info at work.
hali Posted October 14, 2004 Posted October 14, 2004 Ours love pegboards, scales with compare bears, number dominos and lotto, plastic money, clocks, octogons and polydrons.
Guest Sycamore Posted October 14, 2004 Posted October 14, 2004 All the above and I like something called Numicon, I think they have a website, but not sure what it is.
Guest Posted October 14, 2004 Posted October 14, 2004 unifix blocks or multilink blocks number fans number board games number aprons plastic 2d and 3 d shapes number lines software for the computer (RM maths) magnetic money to use on whiteboard geo boards and elastic bands russian doll threading beads
Magenta Posted October 14, 2004 Author Posted October 14, 2004 Just ordered Numicon, sunds ideal for our chn. Met a lovely lady - Mercia Lee - at Early Years Conference in Bham who was a Numeracy Consultant in Worcester. She has made lots of Maths Boxes - see website for photos. We've made a start but its going to take a while to get enough for our needs so we may need to buy some - suppliers details would be useful thanks Mimi. Will have to look out for octogons and polydrons! http://www.wgfl.networcs.net/cgi-bin/mephisto.cgi
Magenta Posted October 14, 2004 Author Posted October 14, 2004 The link doesn't get you to the right page!! Click on Teaching and Learning, then National Curriculum, then Maths, then Ma Boxes. Hopefully!!
Inge Posted October 15, 2004 Posted October 15, 2004 many thanks magenta -- looked at the boxes, lots of inspiration there. inge
Magenta Posted October 15, 2004 Author Posted October 15, 2004 Ooohh! Magnetic money - will have to look out for that, number aprons too! Thanks for the ideas everyone.
Guest Posted October 15, 2004 Posted October 15, 2004 The amths boxes were a fantastic link Thanks for the ideas and the website
Guest Tracey F Posted October 15, 2004 Posted October 15, 2004 Elephants! - linking elephants, they come in 3 sizes and four or six colours - my kids love them! Hope sell them - you can see them here
Guest Posted October 6, 2012 Posted October 6, 2012 I found a number sack on amazon that my class have really enjoyed, great for 'playing and exploring' and 'critical thinking'. I used it as stimulus for maths circle time inititally and then added it to number area, led to lots of problem solving. I now need another one! http://www.amazon.co...49503941&sr=8-1
narnia Posted October 6, 2012 Posted October 6, 2012 magenta, can't find this at all................point me in the right direction please!
narnia Posted October 11, 2012 Posted October 11, 2012 I still can't find the link Magenta was pointing to, any help please???
Joanne123 Posted October 11, 2012 Posted October 11, 2012 Sorry can't help as original post quite a a few years ago. But if you type. Mercia Lee maths boxes into search engine quite a few links are shown. Hope this helps. Joanne
SueFinanceManager Posted October 12, 2012 Posted October 12, 2012 I still can't find the link Magenta was pointing to, any help please??? Original post was made back in 2004!!!!!! Amazing how some topics get resurrected and then of course 8 years on the links don't work. I wonder what the oldest ever resurrected post has been.....this one must be in contention
narnia Posted October 12, 2012 Posted October 12, 2012 errrr, ok, I am now suitably embarrassed, which doesn't happen very often, 'tis true............................ :blink: 1
