during a recent trip to my fave store, the doLLaR trEE, we found a little plastic backpack full of monkeyhead erasers.  we picked them up because i thought that they would make excellent math manipulatives.
Bear wanted to play with them the other day.  i wanted to see what he was going to do with them, so i just gave them to him.  then i sat down and watched.  he started counting them one by one and then putting them in a line. 
$1 well spent.  wouldn’t you agree?
