They wanted to pull them all out and start messing with them. We did use the base 10 kit today for some simple addition and subtraction problems and they were so excited to use new materials. They are a little jealous that my students next year will have these items, but excited for them as well.\r\n\r\nWe are constantly referring back to place value and addition and subtraction that those kits will be getting used a lot. I feel like with having these manipulatives my student will better understand and reach the gaps easier and quicker next year.
