Start to STEM Mathematics Kits
Make math fun with an engaging selection of manipulatives!
Pack includes all the materials needed to teach place value, geometry, fractions, and probability in a hands-on way. Use Interlocking Base Ten Blocks and Place Value Twister Cups to explore numbers and operations in base ten. Students learn about shapes using both a personal-sized geoboard and a GiantGeoboard Peg Set. FractionFacts, RatioReveal, and our Probability Kit allow students to explore fractions, ratios, and proportional relationships. Finally, the Run for the Money Set makes math active and engaging! Choose the ideal configuration for your program- curriculum and equipment together in one pack or separately. Complete Pack includes the Equipment and Manual and a live virtual professional development training. Full contents list online. Recommended for Elementary and up.

The Equipment Kit Plus Manual includes all the equipment plus a comprehensive curriculum manual outlining 10 days' worth of lessons that align with Common Core Math Standards. Each lesson is scalable for different grade levels, abilities, and has teacher suggestions for implementation.
Additionally, the Complete Pack includes the Equipment Plus Manual and a live virtual professional development training hosted by a STEM expert for your school on the contents of this kit. Each three-hour training covers best practices for teaching the activities covered in the manual and provides your teachers with a hands-on and engaging approach to STEM pedagogy. If you choose this option, you will be contacted by a STEM Supplies trainer to schedule your workshop.
For more information or to schedule a training, call our STEM Supplies sales representative at 855-826-4528.

Common Core State Standards for Mathematics*:
- CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.K.NBT.A.1: Compose and decompose numbers from 11 to 19 into ten ones and some further ones.
