Cloud Types and Display Stands by devansicThis project provides models for nine different kinds of cloud formation. They are designed to fit on the end of a standard pencil which can then sit in a base that has the name of the cloud formation. The base has space behind for flash cards, pictures of clouds, or other study aids to assist in learning the cloud types. This is a great #ScienceProject and can be used to create a great display or work area for teachers who like to use #LearningStations.

Easy as Pie Fractions by ThreeDeePrintEasy as Pie Fractions is a small fraction pie that was designed to help individuals to small groups learn how to add, subtract, multiply and divide ten different fractions, 1/1, 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, 1/5, 1/6, 1/8, 1/10, 1/12, and 1/16. Each piece of pie has the accompanying decimal point. The pie tin allows for a snug fit between the pieces, but the crust on the pie allows for easy removal of individual fractions. This hands on learning tool helps people who are struggling when it comes to understanding fractions by allowing them to physically manipulate fractions. The fraction pie pieces can be utilized in various lesson plans from beginner (e.g., adding fractions to make a whole) to intermediate (e.g., multiplying different fractions to create a mixed number).Please post your makes because I am interested in what you have used it for. Also feel free to comment on anthing you would like me to add. As always any Tips are greatly appreciated and will go towards the development of future projects.
