NOTE: Check Addison-Wesley catalogues for ready-made job cards for many of the manipulatives including geoblocks. Exclusive also produces new binders every year. The Book Bureau will soon stock many of these resources. They are often cheaper there and there are no shipping charges.
	Getting ready . . .
		Station #1 To make protractors: Photocopy a protractor several times on a sheet of white paper. Photocopy this sheet onto an overhead transparency. Students are encouraged to keep these for future reference.   Station #10 Polygon and picture cards are provided with this station; however, they can be easily prepared using photocopied pictures using the reducing and enlarging feature of your photocopier. Lake and Island boards are simple blue pieces of cardboard covered with shapes (the islands). Cut the cardboard about 20 cm x 20 cm or more. Cut islands of desires shapes out of white paper and glue to cardboard. Laminate and use for area, perimeter, scale drawings, etc.   Station #11 Refer to Station 1   Station #12 Other cards can be prepared using stickers. Prepare activity sheets by writing each of the following as headings on separate sheets of paper:     Reflection    Rotation    Translation   Depending on your class you may want to add the words flip, turn and slide for clarification.   Station #16 See station 8 (above) for information re: Lake and Island Board   Station #18 Cut several large triangles out of cardboard, foam board or plastic. Make sure that you have samples of all three triangles: scalene, isosceles and equilateral.   Station #20 Collect boxes throughout the year.
