Many of you have counted down the days till you received a much deserved spring break. I could hear the cheers up and down my street today as children made their way home with no homework written all over their faces. My own children are looking forward to “screen time” during the week and the chance to stay up past their school bedtime.
I always spend the first few days of spring break recovering and doing at least one day of absolutely nothing. By the end of the break I had to open the books and start to plan again. If some of you choose to do a little bit of planning for games and activities in mathematics, this blog is meant to help.
The following work mat can be used with just about any concrete object or counter and placed in the Tabor Rotation Manipulative Station. I can never have too many work mats on file. Hope this one helps!
“Do not wait; the time will never be “just right.” Start where you stand, and work with whatever tools you may have at your command, and better tools will be found as you go along.” -George Herbert
