This has allowed them to build their knowledge with patterning, counting, quantifying, shape identification and so much more. They use the materials differently each day. The Gears and Bolts have really made it even more possible and exciting providing ideas on how they can use and sort the materials\r\n\r\nThank you so much for your support helping my students gain interest in STEM manipulatives.
