Learning Resources Jumbo Magnetic Numbers

Product Information

The ELC magnetic numerals was my third and final attempt in replicating the Megcos magnetic numeral set. These durable and brightly coloured magnetic numbers can also be used for sensory play activities and are a great addition to any of our Play Makes Sense Maths Activity Cards. It is likely that this set's mold is based on the popular free typeface Arial Rounded MT Bold. 60 numerals, 52 uppercase letters and 18 symbols were obtained. I am a collector, none of those below are for sale. Trades are only available for people I know in real life AND given that I trust you well enough.

The Grow n' Up magnetic numerals were obtained in 2020. numerals (four of each 0-9 with four extra 0s) and symbols were obtained. 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. Another must-have manipulative is the two-color (red and yellow) counters. They have many uses and help little learners learn to count, make patterns, add, and subtract. They are an essential tool for teaching addition that I use frequently. Students use them for independent practice and help in solving addition and subtraction problems. I keep sets of 20 these colored counters in small containers students to use when needed. This set of ten frames with magnetic counters would be great for many number concepts.Coincidentally, I own a blue "2" from the original Megcos set, which it was the only piece remaining. When teaching geometric solids, I use large foam 3D shapes that I can hold and point out its features. Students use smaller similar shapes to find those same features, to locate similar objects in the scavenger hunt around the class, and use them to create structures. Before we start a lesson, students are given time to explore the tub of math manipulatives for that day. I limit my suggestions as to what they should do with them, as I want to encourage creativity and mathematical thinking. It is believed that these numerals also come in other colors, such as blue, purple and hot pink. However, they are only available in the pink edition of the "ELC Magnetic Playcentre" and it was deemed to be too expensive for 10 numbers (and 80 letters) and therefore none have been owned so far.

Class sixes are sill valuable and rare, but not in comparison to class 7 sets. It is also the highest class obtainable by an alphabet set. Sometimes, symbols ( + − × ÷ = {\displaystyle +-\times \div =} etc.) are included along with the numbers. They count in the corresponding numeral set (without mentioning that symbols are included). They are counted (and sometimes stored) separately. Math manipulatives make math FUN! Children of all ages enjoy using these concrete tools to make sense of the problems they are given. They mainly help younger learners who are learning new math concepts for the first time. A relationship is built when children see how to solve problems and given opportunities to “try” something using math manipulatives. With repeated practice and “play” with manipulatives, math fluency develops. I use math manipulatives for almost every math lesson I teach. When planning my lessons, I think of ways that the concepts can be explained using visuals, as well as orally or on a chart. I prep tools ahead of time so they are ready for our lessons. I vary the tools for students to get practice using different types. During our lessons, math manipulatives are used usually during or after the initial lesson is taught. I will explain a concept, give examples on a chart, practice orally, and demonstrate with math manipulatives. Students use those manipulatives to practice the concept or solve a problem. Examples of How to Use Math ToolsWhen teaching measurement, I use many non-standard units, such as cubes, to illustrate how long, tall, wide something is. Students use the cubes to compare and measure with the cubes around the classroom (i.e., my arm is 20 cubes long). Several sets have been obtained during this period, and some older sets have obtained their dozenal/transdecimal extension since my adaption to Argam and the dozenal and sexagesimal bases. 3D-printed sets have also been produced.

A set of vigesimal Argam transdecimal digits ( through ) have been produced in the style of the Megcos/ELC numerals to allow the usage of larger number bases. Larger argam numerals cannot be produced in this style, as the heavy font weighting cannot support the increasingly complexity of the numerals.Class twos just aren't the best sets out there. Sets are normally put in class two due to its poor quality and/or aesthetics. Poor aesthetics could also mean using a typical font and then slightly modifying it, as this shows that the manufacturer does not seem to pay much effort in designing the set.
