Printables

• Thousands chart (I got this from the Living Math Yahoo group. You can make up your own games! One suggestion: Using dice, take turns and color your chart with the number you roll. First one to 1,000 wins! Try it and see what it does for their awareness of numbers, place values, carrying, etc.)

The content is FABULOUS for learning and teaching math, and is really quite sweet. The title is the most edgy thing, by a long margin, in the whole book)
