Last year I created individual math toolboxes for each student so that they didn't have to share supplies (COVID Rules 😕).
At the beginning of the year they contained...
- multiplication flashcards
- double dice
- animal themed playing pieces
- counters,
- transparent spinner
As the year progressed we added more manipulatives and tools to our toolbox like fraction strips, rulers, protractors, and more.
Students kept their math toolboxes in their blue math bins. These also housed their blue math folders that held their Problem Set packets, whiteboards, markers, and erasers.
Students would simply grab their blue math bin and they were ready for math workshop. It helped tremendously with organization.
Both the blue math toolboxes and bins were found at the Dollar Tree. They were a great find!
This year I'm hoping to return to shared supplies. Should I keep the individual toolboxes for math, or combine materials in larger bins in a math station?
