There are so many goodies! My students would use this kit every day during math workstations and whole group lessons.

I definitely plan on starting a counting collection in my class.<br />Jodi Chandler, 1st grade, Deer Creek ElementaryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5324676503316416892.post-1290833106542133142013-01-26T09:57:29.808-06:002013-01-26T09:57:29.808-06:00This is a teachers goldmine.

The straws could be used to make bundles of 10 and 1's so the kids could create teen numbers and physically see that 14 equals 1 ten and 4 ones. <br />2. The tickets are something I never thought of using. They would be great for skip counting by 10's, 5's and 2's.<br />3. Rectangles would be used for measurement and area. Students could use the items in the kit and estimate how many shells or buttons could fit on a rectangle and then test out their prediction.<br />4. Playing cards could be used for games or for composing and decomposing numbers. For example, show the kids a six and with materials like gems and shells asking the kids to show different ways to show 6 and then share out. (two shells and 4 gems)<br />This is quick list, but I truly could go on and on!<br />Helen Pangonas Pleasant Hill Elementary KindergartenAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15322383748884850402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5324676503316416892.post-22305029033458673732013-01-24T19:49:42.603-06:002013-01-24T19:49:42.603-06:00I give my kindergarteners a choice as to what they...I give my kindergarteners a choice as to what they count. If they want to count a yellow bag (kindergarten)the number of items is between 1 - 20. If they pick a red bag (medium) the number of items is from 20 - 40. The blue bag (challenge) is from 40 to 70 items. I offer 2 bags of different items for each color. My kindergarteners get to pick what they want to count. This kit would be great for my counting collection! <br /><br />Kathy KwiecienskiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5324676503316416892.post-31127804745474059222013-01-24T18:58:43.723-06:002013-01-24T18:58:43.723-06:00Oh oh pick me!!

This would be perfect to really hit home counting by fives, tens, etc. The best part is that it is all stored neatly in a little package that easily accessible any time. I really enjoyed the video and would love to have weekly counting collections going on in my own classroom. I think this kit would really help make that happen :)Katey Schmitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10694434835553370661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5324676503316416892.post-45103115774086956412013-01-24T18:29:40.177-06:002013-01-24T18:29:40.177-06:00I would LOVE this kit!!
