Six years ago when we started homeschooling I decided to go with Singapore math. I did this because I read or heard somewhere that worldwide, kids who use this math score highest on testing. I'm not really into test scores, but it sounded good to me. Singapore has been a challenge...in a good way. One of the items that was recommended to be purchased with the math curriculum were the gram/centimeter cubes. I love hands-on anything, so I purchased them. I had no idea they would be so well used. There are uses for them K-6! The versatility of these little fellas is seemingly endless!

We like these too. And after math is done, the math manipulatives magically turn into tanks and robots, used somewhat like Legos.
Cool. Somehow my math manipulatives are always all over the house, though. Because they've been turned into various vehicles, towers, and weapons of mass destruction. ;0)
Thank you for contributing to the Virtual Curriculum Fair!
My students NEVER liked using manipulatives...so I stopped long ago
We have Unifix that we use for any number of things. I wonder if these are similar.
I would have to agree with Susan, my manipulatives ended up all over the house. :)
