Wrap-Ups Subtraction

Finally, a learning manipulative that is truly portable! Your children can use Wrap-Ups in the car, at the beach, at the doctor's office, or even during a home-school meeting; the possibilities are endless! Because of the portability of Wrap-Ups, they can be practiced anywhere. Wrap-Ups are excellent for drill-work. Challenge your children to complete a board in less than a minute before they start the next board.

Each set of Wrap-Ups contains ten self-correcting, joined-at-the-top boards (about 1 ?/₂” x 5”), with a colorful, attached string. The string wraps around from the problem on the left to the answer on the right. If the answers are correct, the string will cover the lines on the back of the board.

This is a wonderful tool for visual and kinesthetic children, and if you encourage them to say the problems aloud, it is equally marvelous for the auditory child. Because it is self-correcting, your children will have immediate feedback for checking accuracy (plus, it takes you out of the picture as the bearer of “bad news”).

The set stays together with a rivet at the top.

A single string, already attached, makes them easy to use and organize.

Students wrap the string from the problem on the left to the answer on the right, and then turn the Wrap-Ups over to see if they got it right.

Use a stopwatch to measure improvement and to see how fast they can really go.
