Organization Week- Day #3 : Math Manipulatives and Math Games

Storing math materials and manipulatives is currently a work in progress for me. Right now I store most of my math manipulatives in these...



They are ziplock containers that have a twist lid. The lids are easy for the kids to get off too! I don't have a picture of my math materials but trust me...it works. When these containers are filled up with colorful math materials they make a really cute display.


When the kids are using math materials for centers they are kept in plastic baby food containers. I love these because they are free, small, and easy for the kids to open. Here is a picture of a baby food container in use.


I can't wait to hear about other ways to store math materials! I don't have much to offer on this one :(

Thanks for linking up! I really like the idea of baby food containers and the ziploc containers. Unfortunately, I don't have a child yet or a friend who does... hmm wouldn't be free for me! ;-)

You should put out a request to parents of your students. That is how I have gotten many containers.

This sounds silly but I went on ebay and bought new urine sample cups, they work great for storing math items, like chips and number tiles. THey have twist on lids and are easy for the kids to use, plus I got like 100 for 10 dollars!

There is a project out there for pretty much everybody to exploit, so don't be threatened, rather look at all of the offers that are out there simply holding up to be exploited and get into that new auto that you need or need. cash advance chicago
