This month we took the checker board at college. It is used for long multiplication.I now have a slight problem, I'm totally hooked on it.
I don't actually own one, however I have been doing teacher training for a school and they will be paying me by materials. First material I have on my list is this and I will be expecting it very soon.
I was going to type up the presentation but luckily I found a detailed online presentation here which is a sample from the NAMC manuals.
I cannot wait until I start my math training classes! I know it is going to be great! We begin this month.
ReplyDeleteI forgot to ask you. The training teaching you spoke about, is that for Primary?
ReplyDeleteThanks for the link. I do own one and AJ has been using it lately. I will soon post some of the activities he's been doing.
ReplyDeleteI would like to ask an unrelated question if that is ok? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHow do you get on with the Subtraction Strip Board? I have a real problem with it - it doesn't require any subtraction! The answer doesn't stare that child in the face with a totaly satisfying "Yes, that is the answer" you get with other materials. I haven't used it for some time now and am considering removing it from the shelf but decided to give it the benefit of the doubt by asking you!!!
