In regards to organization, the following has helped me immensely and
does not take much time. I have all manipulatives divided evenly in 8
separate containers to correspond to my 8 teams of four children.
Some are shoe boxes, leftover food boxes, baggies, anything I can get
my hands on. Each manipulative is separate from others. When we need
manipulatives as a group, the team captain gets them. Clean up is a
slow countdown of ten and the team captain puts them away. My
principal was really amazed at the short transition time this takes.
As far as the book, when I first started, I carried that book around
with me like a bible. I found it helpful to cut the book apart, hole
punch it and tab the Investigations, TenMinuteMath and anything I
wanted to find quickly. Instead of walking around with the book, I
would often just take out the pages I needed...and the MOST surprising
thing for me,,,,I actually put them back when the lesson was complete.
