We're making the manipulatives to start Gnomes and Gnumbers soon (although we call in Numeria Island, which is not too far across the sea from Alphabet Island). They are glass gems to use as counters, and here is a square showing the size of 100 jewels. Dump trucks and flatbeds moved them around and brought them to the 100 square. Next, we will be making the rods of 10s. We all like the glass jewels a lot. We have them from our Mancala game, which I'm happy to say Govinda is old enough to play now. I have always liked this game. We discussed it's ancient roots from Africa and Asia and how it used to be played with holes in the ground and stones.
