Favorite Math Helpers for Hands-On Homeschool Learning

Math doesn’t always have to mean a workbook, a pencil, and someone staring suspiciously at a page of fractions. 😉 Sometimes the best way to understand math is to pick it up, move it around, measure it, weigh it, build it, and play with it!

We put together our Favorite Math Helpers collection with useful homeschool math manipulatives, educational math games, measuring tools, rulers, calculators, fraction helpers, and hands-on math resources that can make abstract concepts much easier to visualize. Manipulatives are especially useful for turning mathematical ideas into something concrete before students move on to equations and written practice. 

Pair Them With Our Metric Measuring Lapbook!

Our Willow & Owl Metric Measuring Lapbook is even more fun when students can put those lessons into action. Add a metric ruler, measuring tape, centimeter cubes, balance scale, or measuring containers and let kids actually investigate centimeters, meters, grams, kilograms, milliliters, and liters.

Try measuring objects around the house, comparing lengths, estimating before measuring, weighing everyday items, or heading into the kitchen for a little real-life measurement practice. Metric measuring tools are designed to help students practice length, mass, capacity, conversions, and estimation through hands-on exploration. 

It turns a printable homeschool math lapbook into a lesson they can do—not simply read.

Perfect for elementary homeschool math, hands-on math activities, math manipulatives, metric system activities, homeschool measurement lessons, visual learners, math centers, and families looking for ways to make math a little less “But WHY do I need to know this?” and a little more “Ohhh…I get it!”
