Help students develop a greater understanding of operations and algebraic thinking with this informative set! This mini bulletin board set reinforces the concepts of mathematical operations and algebraic thinking, demonstrates the procedure for PEMDAS, introduces different strategies for solving word problems with unknown numbers, and provides easy-to-understand descriptions of important academic vocabulary. This 15-piece set is perfect for instruction, for reference, and for supporting core learning standards for grades 3–5.

The pieces in this set are interactive teaching tools. They are great for use in small groups where students can have hands on manipulation of the pieces. They are also perfect for use under a document camera to teach/demonstrate concepts to the entire class. They also work well in a pocket chart or center to reinforce concepts already taught to the whole class.

• Pieces range in size from 6″x 4 ¾″ to 21″x 6″
