angela&4boys Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Did you find you needed anything extra? Maybe something to learn the calendar? Or particularly helpful manipulatives? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boscopup Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 C-rods for book B I made a 100-chart (blank) in Excel and used straws and coins to teach place value. I printed out a blank calendar and filled in the day of the month each day. That's it. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angela&4boys Posted July 25, 2012 Author Share Posted July 25, 2012 OMgoodness. That is awesome, boscopup. I like simple! Thanks so much for your quick reply. I should have C-rods in our manipulatives box but it's the one thing I lack. Off to shop... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Five More Minutes Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 C-rods for book BI made a 100-chart (blank) in Excel and used straws and coins to teach place value. I printed out a blank calendar and filled in the day of the month each day. Almost the same here, although I used an abacus and c-rods (instead of straws and coins) to teach place value -- you can see pictures here. In my opinion, it matters less what manipulative you use for this; what is more important is that counting and place value is reviewed daily. Oh, and I was glad for M&Ms or other fun, preferably edible, counters ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FairProspects Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 And I use base-10 flats to teach place value with c-rods, so it really just depends on your preference. I think a geared clock is helpful too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the abacus on hand and he definitely won't mind some M&Ms. :) And I use base-10 flats to teach place value with c-rods, so it really just depends on your preference.
