Nuts N' Bolts for Math
More ideas for Nuts N' Bolts! Math of course! Start out with simple numbers and make a nut with an addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division sign. Thread on a number, an operation sign, and then a number. Now your student can spin their way to making problems.
To make your own number set, just use a permanent marker to write the numbers and symbols. I even tried using a wet erase marker and that was awesome because then I can change out the numbers and symbols without needing to keep a bunch of nuts and bolts around.
You can make it more difficult of course. Make some with variables, practice doing order of operations by putting parenthesis on there. I would make one entire nut with parenthesis on there. Then another one with variables. One more idea-greater/less than or equal to signs. The sky's the limit! How would you use Nuts N' Bolts for math?

Excellent, the idea is really brilliant; I want to talk to you today about the so many country experiences of digital transformation from an economic and societal point of view. It's a good idea to use in the online education field.

How do you get the numbers on the bolts? A mallet and stampers?

Left out that little detail didn't I! All you need to use is a sharpie marker. I even used a wet erase marker so I could change numbers without having to keep a bunch of bolts around.
