<p>In this episode, we explore how simple materials—like beads—can transform your math centers. Beads aren’t just colorful and fun; they’re powerful tools for counting collections, building fine motor skills, and creating patterns. We’ll dive into hands-on activities like Spin and Thread, DIY number racks, and engaging rekenrek games that help students strengthen their number sense and counting strategies. Whether you’re looking for easy prep ideas or creative ways to switch up your manipulatives, this episode is packed with practical tips you can use tomorrow. Tune in and bring new life to your math lessons!</p><p>Helpful Links:</p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Number-Rack-Rekenrek-Counting-to-20-Number-Sense-Math-Center-Spin-and-Slide-8623863?utm_source=Bead%20Pod&utm_campaign=Spin%20and%20slide">Spin and Slide</a></p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Fine-Motor-Counting-to-5-10-and-20-Number-Identification-Writing-Subitizing-12968040?utm_source=Bead%20Pod&utm_campaign=Spin%20Thread">Spin and Thread</a></p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Counting-Number-Writing-to-20-Number-Rack-Rekenrek-Differentiated-Center-8045035?utm_source=Bead%20Pod&utm_campaign=PBC">Pick Build Cover</a></p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Number-Rack-Rekenrek-Counting-to-20-Differentiated-Math-Activity-Centers-8975319?utm_source=Bead%20Pod&utm_campaign=Spin%20PBC%20bundle">Rekenrek Mini Bundle</a></p><p>Blog Post</p><p></p><p>Have a topic you want me to discuss? <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdvGmIUFEkpUWrdZtsXoF0q_Vkt56zfEre_cHNuoAC1d7EPog/viewform">Fill out the Google Form</a>!</p><p></p><p>Let's Connect! </p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://bit.ly/3oIEIZI">Instagram</a></p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://bit.ly/3cRPOsH">Website</a></p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://youtube.com/@makingnubmersensemakesense">YouTube Channel</a></p>
