Rhythm instruments are fun for all.  Our maple tone block is well suited for children and both indoor or outdoor settings.

Crafted from select maple and built to last, this tone block is extremely resonant.  As with most standard woodblocks, it offers two distinct tones, and other subtle tones depending on where and how you play it.  It can produce a low, deep tone or scratched with the cherry mallet along the beaded surface to produce a guiro effect.  The precision cut tone groove gives this tone block an unusually loud crisp sound.

Solid maple with a cherry wood mallet.

7.75" long.

This is a Reversible Board--meaning you receive one board but with both sides engraved. One side will have large tracing numbers on it. The other side will have the sections of dimples for counting balls. Photo shows both sides (just know that it is one board).

Our 11-20 Reversible Board is a combination of learning to write numbers while identifying their value. Tracing the smooth grooves of the large numbers builds muscle memory for children as they learn to write on their own. Filling the dimples with wood balls (or beads, snacks, stones, shells, etc) matches the number of items to the written numeral.

When a child is learning numbers, just showing them the number 12 doesn’t mean they understand what it represents. By using this board, your child then sees the relationship between what the number looks like and how many objects are included with it. Even after your child has learned numbers, they can use the board for more activities. Here are some ideas for learning through play…

• DISCOVER: Grouped into columns of five, your child will easily recognise the number through a glance rather than counting one by one. Number 11 is two groups of five plus one more. Or ten and one more. Following the same thinking, see how 14 is ten and four more? What's the difference between the top row and bottom row? The additional row of five for every number. So now you see how 12 plus 5 equals 17. Top row plus five equals number beneath it. What about adding the bottom with the top from either side: 11+20=31, 12+19=31, 13+18=31, 14+17=31, and 15+16=31? Isn’t is fun finding all the different combinations?!

• TRACE: Demonstrate for your child where to begin tracing and which lines to follow. Use your fingers or the tracing stick. Practice with your dominant hand and for fun, try tracing with your non-dominant hand. With eyes closed, have your child randomly find a number to trace on the board and identify what it is based on the feeling.

• FILL: Place small items into the grooves to fill up each number, another way to focus in on their shapes and keep little hands busy. An activity of concentration, follow through, and creativity. Use dry foods such as beans, corn, grain, flaxseeds, herbs, and rice. Use nature such as flower petals, leaves, sticks, stones, sand, and shells. Use snacks such as cereal, raisins, pretzels, crackers. Use art materials such as bells, beads, pompoms, pipe cleaners, and jewels.

• RUB: Place a sheet of paper over the board (either side) and use a crayon to rub the paper, creating an impression of the board onto the paper. Then trace inside the lines on the paper or color in the dots.

• MOLD: Press play dough into the board to create impressions of the numbers and dimples. Numbers will come out backwards, but then use scissors to cut around them and have numbers to move around for playing. Roll balls of dough to place in the counting side. Then squash each ball with the tracing stick as you count them.

• Most important of all, have fun!

DETAILS:

The ideal companion for our Classic ABC blocks. Four full lowercase alphabets, with two embossed letters on opposing sides. Add numbers, math symbols, and a small petting zoo of hand-crafted baby animals.

Discerning eyes will note how the baby animals look like the offspring of the Classic ABC Block adult animals. The same artist drew the animals on each set, so you'll appreciate the visual consistency. We also used the New Century Schoolbook font and the same classic filigrees on both sets.

Next, take a deeper look at the colors on the Classic ABC set. You'll find its direct compliment on the color wheel for each of the lowercase blocks. This is more than a clever design whim; it makes the lowercase abc blocks a true complement to the Uncle Goose Classic ABC set.

by Jamie York, Mich Follari, and Randy Evans

An inspirational and easy-to-use resource book for teachers of Grades 4-12 who want to add interest and engagement to maths lessons. 

Are you looking for a new math challenge for your students?

Do you need a resource of ideas that will give your students the opportunity to experience the thrill of mathematics?

And, what about providing a good puzzle or game that will give everyone the understanding of true problem-solving?

Randy Evans, Mick Follari and Jamie York have combined their knowledge and skills to create a puzzle and game book that is a perfect reference for the math classroom and for middle school and high school teachers everywhere.

The Purpose of This Book

This book is intended as a resource for math teachers in grades four through twelve, in part, to supplement the normal classroom material, such as Our Making Math Meaningful^™ middle school and high school workbooks.

There may be times when things seem to get dull and the students begin to lose their spark.  It is then that the teacher knows it is time to do something different.  This book provides ideas for that “something different.”

What Makes This Book Unique?

There are many math puzzle books available today.  However, it can be daunting for a teacher (especially a teacher in the lower grades for whom math is not a specialty) to pick up a math puzzle book that consists of a couple hundred puzzles, and find a good one that would work well for tomorrow’s math class.

This book is specifically geared toward the teacher who needs to find an excellent puzzle or game for tomorrow’s math class.  We have tried to limit the number of puzzles and games to just a few excellent ones.  We have categorized the puzzles according to grade level.

More about this book:

• It is intended that all puzzles listed under the middle school years ought to be solved without the use of algebra. Several of the high school puzzles use some algebra.
• Any puzzle may also be used for grades older than what it is listed for.
• Solutions to every puzzle appears at the end of the book.
• The intention in this book is to have just a few excellent games for the teacher to choose from.
• Math Magic Tricks. These great attention-grabbers help to develop a sense of wonder for numbers. They are especially effective in grades 5-7, but can also be used in the higher grades as an interesting algebra exercise to show why a given math magic trick works.
• Classroom Activities. This is a modest collection of activities that could possibly turn out to be the highlight of the year for a math class.

READ THE REVIEW IN WALDORF TODAY! by clicking HERE.

Barb, a parent, writes: If you want to make math interesting to students (they say 4th through high school, it is a great resource for anyone wanting to make math more interesting).
This book has (all segmented by grade) puzzles, games, math magic tricks, classroom activities (and of course solutions for the over 200 puzzles, games etc.
Why this book? The authors have collected very good puzzles for each grade, with the intent to provide students with the experience of a mathematical thrill, NOT just memorizing rote procedures.

Want to bring your math classes alive? sprinkle in some of these teasers… Having watched how author Jamie York creates stories and challenges for his students, it makes me wish I had teachers as interesting and engaging as this.
Bust the myths of “math is hard” and “Math is not interesting” with the puzzles in this book!!

Jamie York math is suited to Waldorf education but is known for being rigorous, and is used by homeschoolers and classroom teachers across curricula and pedagogy.

Newbery Honor Book Dragonwings by Lawrence Yep takes readers on an adventure-filled journey across the world. 

Inspired by the story of a Chinese immigrant who created a flying machine in 1909, Dragonwings touches on the struggles and dreams of Chinese immigrants navigating opportunity and prejudice in San Francisco.

Moon Shadow only knows two things about his father, Windrider: he lives in San Francisco and used to craft beautiful kites.

One day shortly after his eighth birthday, Cousin Hand Clap arrives with a letter from Windrider asking Moon Shadow to join him in San Francisco. When Moon Rider arrives in America he learns that his father makes a living doing laundry and dreams of building a flying machine just like the Wright Brothers. But making this fantastical dream a reality proves to be no easy task, as intolerance, poverty, and even an earthquake stand in their way.

Recomended for readers 10-14 years (Grades 5-9).

About the Author:

Jules Verne was born in France in 1828 and died in 1905. His collaboration with the publisher Pierre-Jules Hetzel was wildly successful, producing many brilliant novels in the burgeoning genre of science fiction: 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, Journey to the Center of the Earth, and Around the World in 80 Days, among others. Verne is the second most translated author in the world, after Agatha Christie and before Shakespeare.

Listen introduces parents to five simple, practical skills even the most harried parent can use. These tools will help parents strengthen their connection with their child and help build their child's intelligence, cooperation, and ability to learn as they grow. The book delivers detailed information accompanied by more than one hundred real-life stories from parents who've used this approach to address the root causes of their child's difficult behaviors.

Five surprising things parents will learn:

- You don't have to reward or punish willful children to get them to cooperate.
- Aggressive kids are frightened kids, and there are simple tools to ease their fear so they don't need to lash out.
- Your willingness to just listen to crying or tantrums often is enough to heal a child's fears and hurts.
- Safe play during which your kid becomes the boss can reveal his hidden feelings-- and heal them too.
- Parents who regularly listen to one another's struggles, without judging or advising, often clear so much toxic emotion that their children benefit greatly.

A charming young graphic novel-hybrid starring best friends Hammy and Gerbee.  Bonus: science and history facts on Egypt!

Things are looking up for best friends Hammy and Gerbee—a hamster and a gerbil—when they find out they’re both in Miss Capybara’s class. But it’s not long before school becomes a battle between the good (Hammy and Gerbee), the bad (spelling bees and pop quizzes), and the evil (mice twins Anna and Hanna). Can things get any worse? Or mischievous? Yep! They’re going on a field trip to the science museum. What are two rodent friends to do but find their own fun (and trouble)?

This is a terrific stepping stone for kids who are excited about graphic novels but not yet ready to tackle longer formats.

Reviews:

"Cuddly characters will certainly catch the eyes of fans of Jennifer L. and Matthew Holm's Babymouse or Jarrett J. Krosoczka's Lunch Lady series.  This is a guffaw-generating romp that should not gather any dust on the shelf.  A sparkling series opener certain to captivate a broad audience."--Kirkus Reviews

"Yee’s loose, scribbly line makes for adorable figures; Miss Cap’s whipped-cream hairdo and cat’s-eye glasses are particularly fetching. . . congenial entertainment . . . and fans of broad humor will be satisfied."--Publishers Weekly

"The bordering-on-irreverent fun will be right up the alley of his targeted age group, and the simple, friendly figures that fill out the inventively composed comic pages will draw them right in. An excellent balance between Yee’s own early reader sensibilities and the zany highjinks of Jennifer and Matthew Holm’s Babymouse."--Booklist

"Fans of Jarrett J. Krosoczka’s “Lunch Lady,” Drew Brockington’s “CatStronauts,” and Ashley Spires’s “Binky” will enjoy the animal antics and look forward to future installments in the series. A funny stepping stone for newer comics readers and a welcome addition to all children’s comics collections."--School Library Journal

"The book’s nine short, fast-paced sections will keep new readers engaged; and with easy-to-follow sequences . . . it may draw reluctant readers into the fold. Babymouse fans may find enjoyment here."--The Horn Book

This is an original 'From Jennifer' design that combines tracing and counting into a learning toy/tool for children.  It can help one learn how to form their Chinese numbers correctly and learn what each number represents.  This is a maple hardwood board engraved with gently curved grooves, providing a form to trace with either your finger or the included tracing stick.

Measures 10.5 x 7.5-inches and is 1/2" thick.

Please keep in mind that small wooden balls can pose a choking hazard for young children, so it is recommended to use the balls with children only over the age of 3 years old.  The maker did hear back from one customer that instead of using the balls, she put dry breakfast cereal in their place.  The maker suggests they even think it would be fun with raisins, chocolate chips, etc.  Many others have used beads, small stones, and even flower petals to fill the dimples and large tracing numbers of the board.

The numbers side is the side of the board with large numbers and grooves that you will trace to feel the motion of writing each number.  You may also enjoy doing crayon rubbings of the numbers or filling their grooves with the balls from the counting side (or other things such as beads, stones, etc).
