Person, place or thing?
Give kids a pile of picture and word cards and three bins labeled person, place and thing. They sort the nouns, then pick one from each bin and make a sentence. Sorting turns an abstract idea into a hands-on job.
Why it works: the U.S. Department of Education's guide for teaching elementary math recommends moving from hands-on objects to drawings to numbers.
