The "I Did My Chores" system by Pressing Publications is a fun way to get your kids to do their chores. No reading skills are required since 48 preprinted stickers with drawings of a cute monkey performing various chores are included. You can either use these stickers or create your own with Picture This... photos For each chore that your child completes, he earns a token which can be redeemed for pre-determined rewards. 300 tokens are included with the system.
"I Did My Chores" can also be adapted to tasks that require several steps to complete such as getting dressed or brushing teeth. Simply use the sequencing pictures from Picture This..., and place a different one onto each card. Cover the time of day labels with Step # 1 - 5. As each step is completed, the child places it in the "I Did It!" box. For more ideas, see Self-Help
Because this kit comes unassembled, the adaptation possibilities are endless. Stick the self-adhesive hooks and "I Did It" box onto magnets, and hang them on your refrigerator, or add hook and loop fasteners and use them with your own token board system.

Many students are taught to add and subtract using a number line. For some students, this can be a difficult skill to grasp. Many become confused because they must point to one number while saying something else. For example, if the equation is 3 + 2 = 5, the student should point to the 3 first, then count up by pointing to the 4 while saying one and pointing to the 5 while saying 2.
The sliding number line helps to eliminate all of this confusion. The student simply slides the first number of the equation into the red box. Then using the red circle guides, the students counts up by saying +1, +2. When the students reaches +2, he follows the arrow and reads the correct answer.
The sliding number line has two sides: addition and subtraction. The inner card can be taken out and used as a standard number line once the student has mastered basic number line skills. For more advanced students, the number line can also be used to teach the concept of "x". The student simply uses the number line in reverse and reads the answer for "x" in the red box.
