Math manipulative pages:  1   2   3

Here is a list of my favorite math manipulatives. I have chosen them as they are great for teaching more than one math concept and work well for problem solving activities. They are fairly tough to withstand constant play.

The following materials encourage imaginative play, exploration and creative thought processes. Many of them are available from the kindergarten-lessons store.
