We use these bins to organize the math manipulatives students use in the classroom. Students have easy access to them and are able to grab them as needed. Part of this project also included place value whiteboards that have been tremendously helpful. When we first received them students were working on understanding place and learning the place values. They used these repeatedly. The place value disks are used in activities where students create/build numbers using the place value disks. This is really helpful in fourth grade as they are working with numbers into the millions.

This helps students be able to complete their tasks throughout the day without their computer dying. \r\n\r\nThe computer charging cart chargers computers relatively fast allowing students to quickly charge their computer if needed.

To do this students created a note page tracing the different shapes and listing their attributes.
