One of the moments that Emma has been looking forward to finally arrived today; she was introduced to King Equals and the four math gnomes!
Meanwhile, Grace (who's good friends with the math gnomes already), spent some time hanging with her pal Minus this morning. It made for a very math gnomey start to our day! xo
I just finished planning our arithmetic blocks for grade 1 next year and I can't wait to introduce Reece to the math gnomes. First, though I need to make some :)
ReplyDeleteSay hello to Grace and Emma from Reece :)
He is going to love them! Thank you so much for making these (and all our gnomes) for us! They are very beloved and the perfect way to learn math!
DeletePlease tell Reece hello from his pals in Massachusetts! xo
I need to look into math gnomes for next year! I just heard about Cuisenaire rods for learning fractions so we will definitely be using those next year too.
ReplyDeleteMath Gnomes rock! My friend Kim made them for us and they have been beloved ever since! Cuisnenaire rods are awesome. So many math manipulatives so little time! :)
