Learning Resources Jumbo Magnetic Numbers

Product Information

This set was assigned Class 2 in early 2021, due to it being a suspected spin-off and its poor quality. When teaching counting or identifying numbers to 100, I use a large 100’s chart and a pointer. We take turns pointing to the numbers as we practice counting by 1’s, 2’s, 5’s, and 10’s. Students use small 100’s charts to point and follow along as we count, or they locate different numbers given orally. Class sevens are the most valuable and rare sets of the collection. Most are either handmade, discontinued or have a special meaning to me.

This is my only set of magnetic letters with sharp corners (i.e. the letters have no rounded corners). Class fives are much more common to find than class sixes and sevens but have good quality and aesthetics (font and color choice etc.).

Coincidentally, I own a blue "2" from the original Megcos set, which it was the only piece remaining.

Note that Numerals intended as Transdecimal digits that can be turned over to resemble decimal digits fall in the transdecimal category.Foam magnetic numbers obtained in 2021. 63 numbers total, six sets plus three extra zeroes. Comes in five classic colors (red, orange, yellow, green and dark blue). When teaching basic addition, I use magnetic counters that can be used on the whiteboard to illustrate a problem (i.e., 2+5=7). Students use two-sided counting chips to solve another similar problem at the carpet. Classes three and four are the "typical" sets of numbers you can find, which they are just "there" and don't stand out in any shape or form. The only difference between the classes are that class four sets tend to have better quality and aesthetics. When teaching geometric solids, I use large foam 3D shapes that I can hold and point out its features. Students use smaller similar shapes to find those same features, to locate similar objects in the scavenger hunt around the class, and use them to create structures.
