Do You Manipulate?

Math manipulatives are so fun! I just made this Hundreds Boards and now we are using it to create number patterns. I can almost hear the brain synapses snapping.

This was a simple board made mostly of cardboard. I printed a hundreds chart, rubber glued it to cardboard and thenused ModgePodge on top. When it dried we cut it out together and started playing immediately.

I also have used a montessori based app of a hundreds board, but this hard copy was much more fun.

I soon said to myself, a magnetic board would be really cool. Sure enough, a simple Google search showed they are available online for about $30.
