Using Algebra Tiles has helped my students have a more concrete understanding of what is usually an abstract concept and gave my students a deeper understanding. Algebra Tiles are one of those things I wished that I had started using more earlier in my career because students love them so much.

I had a very happy 2nd grader able to finish up his project, and now we have LOTS of clay to use next year on many different projects.

Cardstock is one of the most versatile mediums to elevate students' work. When they make cards or notes, they feel more important and substantial on cardstock. Math games hold up better on cardstock and are so much more inviting in bright colors. Art projects hold up better on cardstock than paper, and it can become an amazing construction material for learning about geometric shapes or diaramas. The bright colors also look amazing when kids need to make presentation boards for robotics, History Day, and so much more.\r\n\r\nJust today, one of my 5th-grade students needed materials to make a display board about Ukraine for another class, and I was able to give her bright blue and yellow to make her work pop.\r\n\r\nI can't tell you the number of times that having cardstock on hand in so many colors has come in handy in my own class or to share with other teachers.
