Happy Friday,

Raise your hand if you have a love hate relationship with math manipulatives.  I know I did when I was teaching first grade.  

Since I know the struggle is real, I created this “Visualizing student thinking in Math” toolkit.  This helps build conceptual understanding in math without cleaning up a hundred plastic base-ten blocks at the end of the lesson.

What’s the hardest math concept for your students to visualize and how have you used Lucid to help students better visualize and understand?  Share below and help a fellow teacher.
