Product Information

Math manipulatives make math FUN! Children of all ages enjoy using these concrete tools to make sense of the problems they are given. They mainly help younger learners who are learning new math concepts for the first time. A relationship is built when children see how to solve problems and given opportunities to “try” something using math manipulatives. With repeated practice and “play” with manipulatives, math fluency develops.

Poor aesthetics could also mean using a typical font and then slightly modifying it, as this shows that the manufacturer does not seem to pay much effort in designing the set. Foam magnetic numbers obtained in 2021. 63 numbers total, six sets plus three extra zeroes. Comes in five classic colors (red, orange, yellow, green and dark blue).

Note that the names in the table are mostly OCs based on people I know in real life, but their names above differ from the real name of the person. I own 240 numerals of this set (241 including the blue 2), the most out of any magnetic numeral set. Dominoes are a fun math manipulative to have available for games and other activities, such as matching numbers together. There are endless options for use, but my favorite for little learners is to use them to practice addition and subtraction. Give students a small pile of dominoes and have them record a number sentence and solve them by counting. You can find dominoes at most dollar stores, but I love these colored dominoes for the classroom. Several sets have been obtained during this period, and some older sets have obtained their dozenal/transdecimal extension since my adaption to Argam and the dozenal and sexagesimal bases. 3D-printed sets have also been produced. A color scheme exists for this set; Odd numbers are in red and blue and even numbers are in yellow-green and orange.

These durable and brightly coloured magnetic numbers can also be used for sensory play activities and are a great addition to any of our Play Makes Sense Maths Activity Cards. Using the magnetic numbers, we embarked on a journey of learning and discovery. Emma was able to physically manipulate the numbers, arranging them in various sequences and patterns. The tactile experience brought the abstract world of numbers to life for her. With each interaction, her confidence grew, and her number recognition skills flourished. The Megcos magnetic numerals set was obtained when I was a toddler, however it was sadly lost and only a blue digit "2" was found after several years. It is believed that the set of numerals have been discontinued in the early 2010s and a new set will be impossibly hard to find both online and in physical stores.

Learning Resources Jumbo Magnetic Numbers (set of 36)

Math manipulatives are small objects that help with teaching math. They are useful tools for teachers and students. They provide a hands-on way in which to explore and learn. When children are using these materials in natural ways, they are learning differently than they are when they are only listening or watching a lesson. This tactile learning builds a more profound, personal understanding of math concepts. When teaching basic addition, I use magnetic counters that can be used on the whiteboard to illustrate a problem (i.e., 2+5=7). Students use two-sided counting chips to solve another similar problem at the carpet. Class sixes are sill valuable and rare, but not in comparison to class 7 sets. It is also the highest class obtainable by an alphabet set. When teaching measurement, I use many non-standard units, such as cubes, to illustrate how long, tall, wide something is. Students use the cubes to compare and measure with the cubes around the classroom (i.e., my arm is 20 cubes long). This is my only set of magnetic letters with sharp corners (i.e. the letters have no rounded corners).

Two unidentified wooden numeral sets (named Set W1 and W2) were obtained during Generation 1. All colors are fixed. During “free time” or math centers, I will put out a basket containing around 20, 50, or 100 small items depending and ask students to complete a task. The task could be “make groups and count to find out how many objects you have” or something that encourages thinking and problem-solving. Having actual geometric solids that can be held helps children learn what 3D shapes are and their features. I suggest creating an anchor chart with 3D shapes listed and recording the properties of each together. These large geometic solids would make good models for teacher’s lessons. Give students shapes to hold and feel during lessons. These transparent geometric solids are see-through to help children visualize their features, and they have removable bases so students can compare 2D and 3D shapes. How cool is that? Plus, geometric solids make for great exploration where towers and castles and all sorts of structures can be built. Try these foam ones for a math center. Cuisenaire rods are brand new to me. I have seen them stashed away in the math supply room, and I have only recently used them in my classroom. They encourage plenty of creative thought and teach a ton of concepts, such as fractions, geometry, and counting. Each size is a different color, which is pretty cool. Cuisenaire rods come in plastic, like these, or wood, like these. I like to encourage students to explore with a bin of rods and see what they come up with. It is believed that these numerals also come in other colors, such as blue, purple and hot pink. However, they are only available in the pink edition of the "ELC Magnetic Playcentre" and it was deemed to be too expensive for 10 numbers (and 80 letters) and therefore none have been owned so far.

When teaching geometric solids, I use large foam 3D shapes that I can hold and point out its features. Students use smaller similar shapes to find those same features, to locate similar objects in the scavenger hunt around the class, and use them to create structures.The Grow n' Up magnetic numerals were obtained in 2020. numerals (four of each 0-9 with four extra 0s) and symbols were obtained. Like the set from Imagination Learning, this set was assigned Class 2 due to its unnecessary bevel and glossy finish as well as a poor choice of font. When teaching counting or identifying numbers to 100, I use a large 100’s chart and a pointer. We take turns pointing to the numbers as we practice counting by 1’s, 2’s, 5’s, and 10’s. Students use small 100’s charts to point and follow along as we count, or they locate different numbers given orally.

The Imagination Learning magnetic numerals were obtained in 2018 as a (failed) attempt to replicate the Megcos magnetic numerals (see above). This mold was believed to also be used in Grow n' Up's numerals before they changed to Crayola's mold. Another must-have manipulative is the two-color (red and yellow) counters. They have many uses and help little learners learn to count, make patterns, add, and subtract. They are an essential tool for teaching addition that I use frequently. Students use them for independent practice and help in solving addition and subtraction problems. I keep sets of 20 these colored counters in small containers students to use when needed. This set of ten frames with magnetic counters would be great for many number concepts. Teachers Pay Teachers is another wonderful option for finding math resources, games, centers, and printable manipulatives for your classroom. Try the Mindful Math Comprehensive Program Students use math manipulatives at their workspace to complete their work. We have math centers set up that incorporate manipulatives to use during their work. I also give students “free time” to grab a bin of math manipulatives to explore on their own or in small groups. This is where some of the most incredible findings happen. I occasionally put a problem on the board for students to complete with a math bin of their choosing. This encourages the “real world” problem solving when they must think of the most appropriate tool and try different ones out through trial and error. Examples of How to Use Math Tools Set W3 is based on Helvetica (except 6 and 9) and 50 numbers have been obtained. Several shapes and symbols were also included in the set.Coincidentally, I own a blue "2" from the original Megcos set, which it was the only piece remaining. The Windmill Books "Food" magnetic numbers and uppercase letters were obtained in late 2020 also as an attempt to replicate the Megcos magnetic numerals (see above), as well as to boost the magnetic collection. 90 numerals (9 each), 72 letters (8 A's, 4 E's, G's, I's, O's, S's and U's, and 2 of the rest) and 21 symbols (3 of each: plus, minus, times, division, equals, long bar and long division sign) were obtained.
