 Math Foam Manipulatives http://www.foamfantastic.com/ Includes order forms for teachers. The foam numbers and math symbols are brightly colored. Perfect to teach math for grades one through eight. I found it appealing to me as a visual learner, but it would be great for kinesthetic learners as well. They also had foam blocks for base ten teaching. I think that it would be a lot easier to keep track of the larger and brighter "foamies" than the small plastic manipulatives that are used now.
