Elementary, My Dear, or Far From It posted an interesting description of a school organization system for math resources. It’s from May but I just found it. The teachers cleaned out the math manipulative library and photographed each manipulative. Then they made a flickr group for the photos.
Each math manipulative photo is posted along with ideas for how to use it in the classroom. Teachers at the school can comment with other uses for the material.
Imagine your school’s resource library with an interactive web based catalogue. You could even link to lesson plans if you wanted to. With enough teachers at your school participating, it could become a very useful collaboration tool. This idea is so different from the dusty disorganized cupboard or closet I’ve seen at so many schools.
