I usually create math resource folders using the 2-pocket folders that have the prongs in the middle of them. I then put in plastic sleeves through the prongs in the middle and then put in the supports from this document, so that my students have access to them throughout the school year.
The nice thing about putting them in plastic sleeves, is the students can write on them with dry erase markers and then erase it when they are done. This is especially helpful when using the clocks or the coordinate grids. Students can practice writing the time or finding ordered pairs and then hold them up so I can see them.
You could also choose to print these supports out in a smaller format. There are a couple of ways you can do this. If you want to print one page of the same support, you will need to right click on the slides and click on duplicate. If you want 2 per page when you print, then you need to just duplicate them one time. If you want 4 per page, you will need to duplicate them 3 times. If you want them smaller, but don't care if they are the same support on one page, then you can just leave the slides as is. When you are ready to print, you will need to go to File in the menu bar and click on Print Settings. It defaults to 1 slide without notes. Click where it says that and a drop down menu will open. Select either Handout - 2 slides per page or 4 slides per page depending on the size that you want them.
You can laminate these supports as well, which would also allow students to write on them with dry erase markers. If you print them in a smaller format, you can get rings to organize them and be able to easily pass them out to students.
The possibilities are endless! How do you use these types of resources/support items in your classroom? What other resources do you use that I have left out?
