When teaching basic addition, I use magnetic counters that can be used on the whiteboard to illustrate a problem (i. A relationship is built when children see how to solve problems and given opportunities to “try” something using math manipulatives.

Unlike the numerals, the letters were not styled like the Megcos magnetic letters, instead they are partially based on the "Sassoon" typeface (which is designed for better readability for children). The task could be “make groups and count to find out how many objects you have” or something that encourages thinking and problem-solving. When teaching measurement, I use many non-standard units, such as cubes, to illustrate how long, tall, wide something is. There are endless options for use, but my favorite for little learners is to use them to practice addition and subtraction. I suggest creating an anchor chart with 3D shapes listed and recording the properties of each together.The set was assigned Class 2 due to its unnecessary bevel and glossy finish as well as a poor choice of font.

The Imagination Learning magnetic numerals were obtained in 2018 as a (failed) attempt to replicate the Megcos magnetic numerals (see above). 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. I occasionally put a problem on the board for students to complete with a math bin of their choosing. They encourage plenty of creative thought and teach a ton of concepts, such as fractions, geometry, and counting.
