MATH = LOVE RECOMMENDS…

A laminator is a MUST-HAVE for me as a math teacher! I spent my first six years as a teacher at a school with a broken laminator, so I had to find a way to laminate things myself.

I’ve had several laminators over the years. I currently use a Scotch laminator at home and a Swingline laminator at school.

I highly recommend splurging a bit on the actual laminator and buying the cheapest laminating pouches you can find!

If you do go the lamination route, I suggest using two color counters or bingo chips when representing numbers on the 5 frame.

If you prefer to have students draw on the five frames, you could place them inside a dry erase pocket to make them erasable and reusable.

Here are my current go-to recommendations:

Dry erase pockets are seriously one of my favorite classroom tools!
