Manipulatives are integral to the Everyday Mathematics program. By emphasizing the power of manipulatives and helping children learn to employ them intelligently, Everyday Mathematics is working to make the mathematics in school resemble mathematics of the real world. Each grade level Manipulative Kit contains supplies to extend lessons and student learning. For teacher convenience, manipulative kits for each grade level of the Everyday Mathematics program have been assembled. One kit includes: 60 Attribute Blocks, 200 Connecting Cubes, 450 Counters, 1000 Counting Sticks, 16 Dice (blank), 36 Dice (dotted), 110 Dominoes (double-9), 4 Geoboards (two-sided, 7" x 7"), 10 Inch Cubes (wood), 5 Meter Sticks (dual scale), 5 Number Card Deck, 3 Number Lines (-35 to 180)*, 500 Pattern Blocks, 10 Pattern Block Template*, 88 Play Money Coin Sets, 1 Rocker Balance, 400 Rubber Bands, 500 Straws, 10 Tape Measures (retractable)*, 1 Tape Measure (30 m/100'), 1 Thermometer (classroom), 1 Timer
