A home for their hearts Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 I'm not wanting workbooks, I want books that have ideas for hands on math, or what to do with manipulatives etc. I'm leaning towards a more natural approach to math but I'm having trouble finding titles to help me. I found this one but it isn't out until March. Know of any others? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Alfred Academy Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 maybe the Rightstart Math games book? Love this! Lots of fun games. What about a workbook that shows different shapes to make with tangrams? Unfortunately I can't point you in the direction of one, but I know they are out there.

usetoschool Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 http://www.amazon.com/Math-Manipulatives-Magic-Wands-Hands/dp/0929895495/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1233963970&sr=8-9 Math, Manipulatives and Magic Wands http://www.amazon.com/Learning-Resources-Standards-Photo-Illustrated-Manipulatives-Grades/dp/1569112738/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=toys-and-games&qid=1233963970&sr=8-2 Hand-on Standards - they are available for PreK-K, 1-2, 3-4, 5-6. VERY public schooly but lots of ways to teach math concepts with manipulatives. You do have to buy every manipulative under the sun though. (for me, not a problem...:glare: I think I only like teaching math because of the stuff) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inashoe Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Rainbow has a whole section on items for manipulative based instruction : http://www.rainbowresource.com/prodlist.php?sid=1233983487-433442&subject=10&category=2317 In particular I find the cuisenare rods are particularly useful : http://www.rainbowresource.com/prodlist.php?sid=1233983487-433442&subject=10&category=2351 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
