I've been meaning to share this for a couple weeks now...
We used these bracelets to practice "The Story of Ten." For example, the picture above is representing 7 + 3 = 10. We moved the beads to represent all the different combinations. The students LOVED it & I especially loved the idea of my students receiving OT services getting extra practice :)
We had accompanying worksheets to draw all the different "stories" using red/yellow counters (I'll post those soon!) and together we made an anchor chart (not worthy of a photo, but it got the job done!).
We have moved on in math, so the bracelets were worn home awhile ago & I tucked my set away for next fall...until I saw this:
This awesome idea was posted by Julie from Make, Take, & Teach and featured on one of my favorite sites: www.classroomdiy.com
Math AND Phonemic Awareness from a package of beads & pipe cleaners? Yes, please. My students adore them!
Tomorrow is a PD day for us - "Data Day" where we will analyze NWEA results, as well as the last round of interims. Because I'm a total geek & the nature of my position, I ♥ these days!
Happy almost Friday!
