My students were so excited to see a new set of \"toys\" as they think, and were very eager to learn about them. My students are so much more fluent up to 10 than they have been in the past. They are building part part whole up to 10, and do not even realize it! (This comes later in the year, so we are ahead of the game!) I feel my students will be better at addition and subtraction when we get to that in the spring. \r\n\r\nRight now we use the math stackers as reinforcement for counting and ordering numbers up to 10.

They could not wait for math time to explore. \r\n\r\nWe will continue to use these new learning tools throughout the entire school year. We use them for small group math centers.
