We've been given money to use for math resources. Other than the standby manipulatives, etc. anyone have a great idea for 3-5 math class? Thanks so much for your ideas!

I use my foam dice more than any other manipulative I have. I love how the kids can throw them and they don't make a sound!

Lakeshore Learning sells class sets of place value (units, rods, flats) and fraction strips that I also use quite a bit. They are much easier than cutting the things out.

What about...

math software/games for the computer
class sets of calculators
class sets of stop watches
chart sized post-it paper for sharing group problem solving
chart sized graphing paper

they also make place value dice,
