Popsicle Sticks
Did you catch the wonderful idea on multiple ways to instantly group students? It's on page 28! Using Popsicle sticks, I painted 5 groups of sticks with 5 different colors. Each group of sticks contains the numbers 1-5 on the top, and 5 different shapes on the bottom. The middle of the stick contains 5 different designs made with pattern tape. This allows me to ask students to group by stick color, by number, by shape, or by pattern. I'm loving this quick grouping pattern.
If I were to make the sticks again, (and I might) I would color the sticks with color markers instead of paint. I would use duck tape instead of tape that can easily be picked off. (I'm going to try Modge Podge before giving up on the current set.)
Did anyone else pick-up on this idea? I'd love to see a picture of what you created!
