With all the pushing toward academic rigor, common core standards, and math initiatives teachers know the importance of high math expectations. But with these, it doesn’t mean math has to be boring. Geometry is one of my favorite subjects to teach. Learning Resources contacted me about reviewing their Geometric Shapes Building Set and of course I said YES! My students love anything hands-on, who doesn’t?
Can’t you just see all the possibilities?? It’s an automatic math station!
I think imagination is one of the BEST ways to motivate kids!

I would use these at stations.
I would probably use either during small group or stations. I have a large group this year.
I've wanted something like this for so long! Thanks for sharing! 🙂

This is pretty cool…I can see my students getting excited to use it in class!
-lovely Nina 🙂
These look like a great resource! I would use them as a math station.
I would use these as a math daily 3 choice.
I would first introduce these in small group then leave them in the math center during center time.

These are awesome! I would first use them in small group and then leave them out as a center choice. My students always love to do these kinds of things with toothpicks and marshmallows – I love that they bend to create curved shapes too!
I would use them in small group first then move them to math stations.
This would be great during math work stations
This would be great to reinforce the idea of sides and vertices!!
I would fist use them in small groups and then move them to a station.
I would use them during stations.
I can see these in stations but I also see them as a STEM tool. 🙂 I would love to have them in my classroom.
I have a few other sets of building toys I use for centers in the library. This would be a great addition.

I would use these in a small group setting during our math center rotations.
These look so cool! I would use them for small group and then stations. It would be great for building teamwork skills and collaboration skills.
I would use these at stations!
These would make great work stations. I would need several sets to do them whole group 😉
I love these. Lots of great hands on fun and learning. Kids would love to explore with these.
These are so cool! I could see using them in whole group instruction, then for student work at stations/centers.
Perfect for my two crazy about building boys!!!!
I would use them in whole group first, and then probably stations. I would also use them in small groups for my strugglers.
I would use these for whole group and small groups.
These look amazing! They would be great for my primary special ed students!

Definitely use these for Math Daily 3 for work with someone or work independently! Deb at Fabulously First
These would be awesome! deborahwintle@rsu57.org
I would love to use these in small group, eventually moving them to centers.
small group first then stations for sure!
Think I would start as a large group and then probably a station. :o)

What an awesome resource! This is my first time seeing these in action! I would totally introduce in whole group, use in small group, and be an independent center!
My Firsties would love these in small groups, with buddies, and individually!
These are just COOL!!
Whole group, small group, and stations!
Love them!! The kiddos will have a blast and not even realize they are learning!!
I would use it for all 3!!! 🙂
I would use them for all 3, but definitely for math stations! I can see my firsties LOVING this!

I would love to use these for BOTH whole class and small group instruction. These are amazing!
These have been on my amazon wish list for a couple of months! I would love to use them for extra practice in my math centers!
I would definitely use these in math stations! Thanks for the chance to win!

I would love to use these in my classroom. Thank you! mooreh@usd300ks.com
I would use these in whole group and small group. These would also be GREAT for centers!
Your photos are always so bright and lovely!
Do you do something to your camera to make them bright?

Oh the Little Wonders
I think the quality of the camera is most important…and then the settings you use are the next important detail =) I have a Canon T3i with a 50mm 1.4 lens. It was worth every penny!! If you don't have access to a really good camera, then natural lighting is a way to make your pictures stand out =) Hope that helps!
I would use them at small group or stations. They definitely fit the CCSS!
I would start using them with whole group instruction. Small group and independent centers then would be easy to use and manage. The kids would love to use these to make 3D shapes!! Kimchaiken@gmail.com
They could be used to model in whole group, but unless I had several of these I wouldn't be able to give them out to the whole group. I would use them at stations. rlelr@verizon.net
These would be perfect for small group work!
My students would love to "play" with these during math stations. However, I would introduce them during whole group first.
These look like fun! I would use these mostly in centers, they look great for exploration!
I would love to use these in my centers!!! Thanks for the amazing giveaway!!!!

These look so fun for math centers!
I would use this during station time!
I am reading about guided math this summer. These would make a great center that would hold their interest and would be easy to manage.
I would use this in small groups.
I would love to use these in small groups and stations!
I am going to teach math by using math workshop, and good really use some materials to help get started!
These would be great for my math center. My students love anything they can build with!
I think these are perfect for all areas in the classroom. They can be used to model with, group work, and independent practice. Thank you for the giveaway!
Those are so cool! I would totally use them with my kinders. Thanks for introducing them and having a give away.
Love these!! Great for station time
I would use these during small groups! Thank you so much for the opportunity to win! 🙂
I would use this during small groups.
Wow, these are great–such a "no-brainer" for a math center! My firsties would love them.
small group
I would use these first as a small group, then as a center choice, then eventually they would wind up available at choice time.
I think I would introduce these in small group and then use them in a center. Or, I'd put them in a center and see what my kids come up with and then pull them into small groups and discuss findings…oh the possibilities! 🙂
I would start using these in my small group instruction. Then I would move them to centers.
I would use these in structured small group time, but then they would be used in individual time.
I love these. I'd would most likely use these for Daily Math groups.
Oh these would be fantastic for math centers! I would introduce whole group and then let the children explore them during math centers.
These look so fun! I think I would introduce them whole group and then put them in one of my math rotations.
Use as a whole group.
I would probably introduce them during whole group, and then use them in a math center. Like you said, the possibilities are endless!!
Small group activities.

Oh My Goodness! These would make for some amazing math centers!!!
New Adventures in Elementary
Whole group first to model and explore building the basic 3-D shapes. Then in stations so students could explore further.
