No matter the age Math Tools must be toys first. Even when I taught 5th, I let them play. For 2 days my kiddos rotated through 4 tables, playing for about 8 mins. with each.
Rulers/Measuring Tapes:
Pattern Blocks
Game Supplies
Base Ten Blocks
Clocks
Dominoes
More Game Supplies
Rekenreks and Number Balances
After both days we discussed how these toys will now be TOOLS and how we might use them in math. This was a fun (yet loud) 2 math days for my newbies.
