A couple months ago, I crossed over the 50K followers on facebook! Since then I have been thinking about what I could in return that would honor where we have been together and where we are headed! Ultimately, I decided that I wanted to give you a shopping spree to my favorite place of math inspiration, ETA hand2mind!
The rafflecopter to enter the giveaway is in this post so keep reading! There will be 5 winners! Each winner will recieve $100 ecard to spend at ETA hand2mind!
Why Math Manipulatives?
I have discovered to reach young math minds, math manipulatives were essesntial. Actvive learning is how we can involve every child and engage every mind. I want to give you the tools to be inspired! Conceptual understanding paired with procedural understanding is key! Plus we all know that manipulatives take even a reluctant learner and transform them into an interested participant!
It doesn’t stop with K and 1, big kids can greatly benefit from using manips too!
So what I would love is to give you the ability to shop for your students and your classroom!
Already stocked?
If your school already carries the basic manipulatives, (lucky you!) don’t worry! You’ll find TONS of exciting tools that you don’t already have. There’s some really innovative and new manips that have come on the scene lately! I just bought some myself for third grade as I am working through the guided math series. Chances are that your school’s math manipulatives come from ETA hand2mind like mine did! That’s where I first fell in love!
So check out ETA hand2mind and start building that wishlist! I think you’ll notice right away that they have the MOST selection and the BEST prices! {and no one paid me to say or write any of this! The opinions in this post are mine!}

All About Guided Math
I have base ten blocks and unifix cubes, but lack a lot of other great manipulatives for my first grade classroom. I would not have a hard time using the money. We just did the shapes unit and I had to borrow all my manipulatives from other classrooms! Thank you!
I am an instructional coach for special ed.Manipulative are the foundation to students with cognitive disabilities. I would love a variety of manipulative to give to new new passionate teachers who have chosen to help those students with disabilities and need to build their tool box to help others. How exciting to get shiney new manipulatives at a workshop for new teachers!!!!
I am new to first grade and I could use some complete sets. ha ha! What an awesome giveaway!
I follow your blog and will add to Instagram. Love your stuff!
Hello Mrs. Tunstall:
I love all your resources especially your math journals/centers and guided reading.
Thank you for all your efforts in making teaching and learning fun and engaging.
Hi Reagan, I love ETA hand2mind manipulatives too! I have purchased a lot with my personal money but am still short on pattern blocks (wooden — the foam ones fall apart) and I was just re-introduced to Cuisenaire Rods at a math class for teachers recently (saw them in the 70’s but had forgotten all about them!) Would also love to get some more two-sided counters as we ran out the other day when trying to solve some simple addition/subtraction problems.. I sound greedy but honestly it would not take long to spend the money as ETA hand2mind have soooooo many GREAT products and funds have been very low over the past 10 years in our school district for such “luxuries.”
Would love to win this! How do I enter?! I’m a new kindergarten teacher and definately. Old use these awesome manipulative! Thanks so much!

I am a new teacher teaching sixth grade math. I could use this to help supply my classroom with manipulatives for my students to use.
Had to update the tweet. here is the link: https://twitter.com/tyneva/status/813819029316112384. First grade teacher who would love to add some manipulative to my morning tubs!
Your products look awesome.
What an awesome thing you are doing here! I’m new to first grade and know my student would love fresh (and fun) math materials!!
I have had my eye on the rekenreks for awhile now. They even have magnetic ones now! This would Definently secure number sense and number recognition for my students!
This is an amazing giveaway! Absolutely love your materials and continue to add them to my classroom. Thank you for sharing your experience and creativity with us!
I teach 4th and 5th graders and would love to have manipulative.
I teach at a brand new school and we don’t have a lot of manipulatives YET! I’d love to get some first grade manipulatives like the reknekek’s. 🙂 (am I spelling that right?) – and more pattern blocks for our awesome team!
As a life skills special education teacher most of the things we need in our classrooms we usually buy or make on our own. This could give me valuable resources for my students because everything we do is performance based.
Where can I find the pattern block tray Reagan?
It was a target dollar spot find!
We don’t have a current math series in my district and my manipulatives have been well loved by many other first graders. I could definitely put this $$$ to great use in my room with my diverse group of learners.
Love love love the manipulatives! Hope to win to use with Guided Math Bundle for my first graders❤️
I love all your ideas! Thanks so much for this generous opportunity to win some awesome math manipulatives for my 2nd graders!
This will be awesome for some lucky kiddos and teachers! Thank you so much for the chance to win.
My 3rd grade class would love them as we have to borrow from other grades!
I would live more angles for geometry and Fraction Tower® Equivalency Cubes. These are a must for our fraction unit in 4th grade!
Kindergartners really learn best when they experience things hands-on just as well as other grades. These math manipulatives would really add to the lively hood of my classroom!! Thanks for the opportunity to have a chance at winning!!
Math manipulatives & books for teaching math! My kids & I love using these for math.
I’ve been following you since the first time I met you 2 summers ago, at the SDE I Teach 1st Grade Conference in Las Vegas. You have so many awesome ideas that I have used. Thanks for all your hard work!
As a former Special Ed teacher, and current first grade teacher, I LOVE manipulatives. Thank you for letting us know of this great resource. I don’t think we can ever have enough things to help engage our students.
