Maths rotation table ✋
I’ve had lots of lovely questions about my creepy subtraction activity so I thought I’d try and answer some of the common questions here..
- Hands are filled with sand (nothing special, just from the school sand pit)
- Gloves are just tied up with a rubber band
- I only made enough hands for a rotation activity, not one per child
- Task cards are from @teachstarter
- In Australia (Victoria) subtraction is part of the Foundation/Prep curriculum

Dedicated Fine Motor time is something I know is hard to fit into your timetable.. don’t worry I get it!
The biggest problem I found with doing it though was that I had to organise things and that took too long so it didn’t happen... and this was when these Fine Motor Kits were born
I asked parents for donations of the equipment and then set to work making them up. I would then place the activities on the tables every morning for the 15 minutes we had between doors open and start of day.. a great way for parents to see the simplicity of the activities and how they could mirror them at home. I then had the kits on a trolley and they were available for fast finishers. And then I started sending them home for extra practice for some of my littles that were really struggling
Yes it will take a bit to set them up but I can honestly say some of my kits are still going strong after 8 years They don’t look quite as pretty as @keepingkindinkindy’s though, hence why I’m using her photos But seriously.. once they’re done they’re ready to go at any time

I thought I would share a picture of our addition template ‘in action’ after posting it in our plastic sleeves last night ➕ It’s extremely basic but great for using materials to explore addition through hands-on learning Students roll a dice to determine what numbers to add together Our favourite materials to explore addition with are these @modernteaching Fish Counters, Coles Minis and Farm Animal Counters ➕
SHOP DETAILS Swipe right to see some up close details of our shop dramatic play area So fun to put this space together - my students loved putting their writing and drawing skills to work and made many beautiful labels and signs for our shop ✍ We have been busy playing (and learning!) in our shop all week Our Shop front, cave and lovely wooden foods are from @modernteaching ❤️
EMOTION STONES
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So many of you spotted these in my tour of my classroom on Friday and I’m so excited that they’re ready and available in store now!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
These were really well received by the kids on Friday and I’m stoked with how easy to ‘read’ the images are.. even Everly could spot what a lot of them are!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Fantastic for setting up an investigation space to explore emotions or add to a calm down space for those kids who might need help identifying those emotions.. the stones add a great sensory element.. maybe not if they’re angry and throw things

I love this idea to show regrouping when you’re teaching the written sum.. especially if you showed this with the hands-on of regrouping blocks or sticks!! Get the kinaesthetic element in!! I will definitely be keeping this one in mind for Korbin!

Tag some friends who might like to save this idea for later
