TOS REVIEW: Master Innovations, LLC.

Master Innovations, LLC

I think that math is learned easier and with less frustrations when there are worthwhile manipulatives. The idea behind Master Innovations designs is to help children learn mathematics with fun and easy manipulatives. Originally it began with the goal of getting every child in the classroom a Master Ruler but it has grown into more than just that. They now offer the Master Ruler, Master Clock, Master Fractions and Master Angles.

Recently I was sent the Master Angle manipulative and the workbook for a TOS Crew review.

The grade range for the workbook is grades 1-4. Prices: Master Angle- $5.95; Master Angle Workbook- $15.95

A classroom kit can be purchased for $149.99 (includes 25 Master Angles, 1 Teacher's Angle, and 1 reproducible Workbook)

Honestly, the workbook was below my kids' level and so we were not able to use it but the Master Angle is something that we can use but we are already past angles in our math studies at this time. When we get to more geometry studies it will come in handy.

They also sent along the Marvels of Measures poster and that is extremely helpful!  We are always trying to remember our measurements. Something we found to be very neat were the everyday items that were used to show measurements (such as the 1" inch [finger knuckle], 1/4" inch [ladybug]). I had been taught that the 'cup' made in the palm of your hand was 1/2 a teaspoon...and I have never forgotten.

Price: $10.00

The video on the purchase page has a short bit on how to use this but I think that it is self-explanatory.

Bottomline:

These are sturdy well made items. The workbook is well done with enough problems to help a child learn and understand angles. The Master Angle is actually really easy to use. The prices of the products are reasonable. These would be something I would recommend to those looking for supplements to their math curriculum.
