Show & Tell {6.24.11}

Welcome to the very first Education Cubes Show & Tell! I am very excited to see how YOU are implementing the cubes and insert cards for some fun, hands-on learning fun! Be sure to check out the Show & Tell Guidelines before linking up your post.

Remember:  You MUST be an Education Cubes Member AND your post MUST show the Education Cube insert cards in use. Your post does not have to solely be about Education Cubes. You may use old posts or posts for other blog carnivals as long as you go in and add either the button or the sentence linked to here. You can grab the button & see the sentence on the Show & Tell Guidelines post.

Please Note ~ Links that do not comply with the guidelines will be removed in order to help others searching specifically for Education Cube ideas!

Now, onto the showing and telling! I can’t wait to see your ideas!!

Fraction Pies

The most recent addition to the Education Cubes Members Only site are the Fraction Pies. The set of insert cards include fraction pies from wholes to sixths.

These insert cards can be used to help teach/reinforce fractions. Roll the cube and call out the fraction. We also like to use these to use the Fraction Pie inserts along with our Fraction Cups. We roll the cube and then duplicate the fraction with the fraction cups.

You can access the Fraction Pie insert cards as well as many, many more by joining the Education Cubes Members Only Site.

Do you have more ideas for Fraction Pie insert cards? Please leave a comment and share your ideas!

Members: You can find these insert cards under the “Mathematics” category, under “Fractions.”

Bear Hug Counting

I posted on Totally Tots about a fun little game that I played with my boys to go along with the book Golden Bear by Ruth Young. We used a bunch of teddy bears and the Teddy Bear Counting insert cards to work on counting and one-to-one correspondence. Click on the photo below to head over to Totally Tots for more details on how to play this super cute, super fun game!

Have you blogged about using using your Education Cubes and the insert cards? Be sure to link up to the Education Cubes Show & Tell! I would love to showcase your ideas!

“I” Word Families

The most recent additions to the Education Cubes Members Only Site are the “i” word families:

–ice, –ick, –ide, –ife, –ight, –ile, –ill, –in, –ine, –ing, –ink, –ip, and –it

Practice reading word families by rolling a word on the cube and saying it! Then use it in a sentence. For more of a challenge, roll two words and make a rhyming sentence!

FYI: The remaining “o” and “u” word families are coming soon!

You can access the word family insert cards as well as many, many more by joining the Education Cubes Members Only Site.

View a complete list of all the insert cards currently found on the Members Only Site.
