Linear Counting Shopping Lists: Show child that each item on the  shopping list has a price. (This price is written next to the item in it’s  corresponding bead stair color). Make two bead stairs either with  paper beads or the real beads if you have them. Child gets each bead  bar that they need according to their list, and they connect them in a  “snake” (much like The Snake Game). They then continuously count to  find the answer. I put the answer on a sticker on the back of each  shopping list so a child can check their work. 

Addition Word Problems and Counters: This is a great activity for an  adult to do with children or for a reader to do on their own. Keep the  corresponding counters in their own containers for easy access. Read  word problem, child uses counters to make addition word problem  and solve.  

Large Number Cards: This printable set includes number cards 1-9,  10-90, 100-900 and 1000-9000. Use these to make new numbers for  The Bank Game, operations equations, reading four digit numbers,  the large card layout or the 45 layout in conjunction with the golden  bead set.

Printable Golden Beads Set: There are so many possibilities with this!  This is great to use if you are on the fence about splurging for the real  thing and you want to test it out. I print on cardstock, laminate and  cut. Keep them organized in their own containers and use in  conjunction with the Number Cards. You can make the demonstration  tray, tray of nines, the exchange game and more with this set. 

Stamp Game Paper: Use this color-coded paper for recording  operations problems. 

Number Tower Templates: This includes a colored master and two  options for student sheets. One has colored borders and one is left  blank for the child to color. These squares represent squared  numbers and multiplication times tables. Children fill in each square,  color in the corresponding bead stair color, cut and assemble into a  tower. 

Clock Kit and Booklets: To make the clock, use the master as a  template. Child cuts all pieces out, glues numbers in place, uses a pin  punch to poke holes in the clock and hands and secures them  together with a paper fastener. Glue the five bead bars all around to  represent the minutes on the clock. Use the clock to inform your  answers in the clock booklet. 

Time Cards: These cards can be printed and children can color and  draw in the times for these activities. They can then be turned into a  book. They can also be laminated and put out with a dry erase marker  to be used over and over again.
