Introducing the Math Lending Library


Now Open!

We want your child to excel! Let's connect home and school by sharing positive experiences with math materials. The new Math Lending Library was created with this in mind. We value your partnership and believe it is important that teachers and parents work together for the success of our students.
The first round of math materials are matched to skills that Preschool, Kindergarten, First or Second grade students may be practicing. The following math tools are available:

  • Pattern Blocks
  • Unifix cubes
  • Ten Frames with Counters
  • Geoboards
  • Math card games
  • Dominoes

Math literacy is a life long skill

It starts here! Beginning math requires hands-on experiences. Building, sorting, rote counting, patterning, one to one correspondence, measuring, recognizing and comparing numbers, putting numbers together and taking numbers apart are all essential early math skills. Practice through play is natural and important. You can support this learning at home.

Borrowing made easy

If you would like to take home a math activity, simply email me! If you know which tool you would like to borrow, I can get it to your child's backpack. All the kits have directions for use and extension suggestions.
If you would prefer to come in and browse, also email me and we can set up an appointment for you to check out the math materials. 
All materials are lent for ONE week. I will sign your tools in and out just like a library for books!
