This book provides teachers with information about the essential early number concepts. Teachers can then provide the activities in this book to help students construct knowledge of these essential number concepts. Also included is a CD with all of the blacklines needed for the activities in the book.
This would be an excellent book to use for differentiated instruction in the classroom. A must for Intervention Specialists.

Keep track of students from Pre-Kindergarten through Grade Two with this individual portfolio. Keep examples of student work and assessments to use with parents, administrators and other teachers.

Bears & Chairs are a colorful, engaging, interactive manipulative. Through structured play activities, as well as through free exploration, children will learn the following skills:

Pre-number Concepts: Matching Sorting Comparing Ordering

Counting Skills, Positional Words and Imaginative Play

Pre-number concepts and counting skills are prerequisites to learning numbers meaningfully. Children will build on these concepts to understand the important mathematical concepts they will later learn in school. 

There are 20 chairs, 18 small bears, 2 large bears, 2 medium bears and a booklet with activities.

The chairs come in four different colors but that is not all… There are a total of seven different chairs.  The backs and seats are also different so when the child is sorting there are many different attributes that can be used.  This container has 100 chairs for the teacher or parent who may already have the bears.  This container also has a booklet with activities to use with the chairs. 

These chairs can also be used on their own for matching, sorting, and ordering activities.  

This dry erase number line has 11 velco dots to be used with small dry erase rectangles.  The kit also contains plastic links for building the numbers one to five.  This number line was developed to allow children to constuct different line segments from a traditional number line.  Examples:  numbers 0-5, 0-10, 10-20, count by 5s, count by 10s, fractions, decimals.

Excellent for teachers to use when working on the relationship of comparison.

This whiteboard is printed on both sides.  On one side there is a 99 chart and on the other a 100 chart. The two charts have different fonts so young children can see the differences in some of the symbols (4 and 9 for example).  The squares on the boards are one inch which allows the teacher to use Number Concept units or pentominoes for covering activities.

 If you purchase more than ten, the price is $1.25 each. 

We also have pentominoes for sale.

 These colorful plastic pentominoes are an excellent way to help students build the relationship of 1more, 1 less, 10 more, 10 less on the 100-99 board.  There are 12 different shapes in each package.

Pentominoes are formed by 5 one inch squares connected along an edge.

This dry erase panel is printed on both sides.  On one side there is a 5 frame and on the other a 10 frame.  These boards can be used in whole group, small group or individual work.  The boards allow the teacher to help develop the numbers connecting the word, symbol and quantity. 

If you purchase more than ten, the price is $1.25.

We also have red and yellow foam counters available to use with these boards.

These colorful plastic counters can be used with the 5/10 frame boards.  The come in four colors and there are 200 counters in each package.

We recommend using the one-color counters with Kindergarten students.  We recommend giving each student 20 counters in one color.  During the year the students will use the counters to build important relationship to five and ten.  The counters can also be used when the teacher is helping students understand that the numbers 11-19 are ten and "some more".  Two different colors can be used by students when important part-part-whole relationships are conceptually being built (e.g. 3 red and  2 green built on the 5 frame show 3+2=5.

This dry erase panel is printed on both sides.  On one side there is a 10 frame and on the other a 20 frame.  These boards can be used in whole group, small group or individual work.  The boards allow the teacher to help develop the numbers connecting the word, symbol and quantity.  The 20 frame board is an excellent tool to use to help students when they are working on addition facts (make the 10).

If you purchase more than ten, the price is $1.25 each.

 These foam two-colored red and yellow counters can be used for part-part-whole relationships.  Using the 5 frame boards, 10 frame boards or 20 frame boards help the student build the relationships to five and ten and also the important concept of "make a ten" when adding numbers.

They are packaged in sets of 200.  It is recommended that each student have a set of 20.
