If you are just joining us, you'll want to start here or check out my Clutter-Free Guide to Organizing and Managing Your Classroom .This week's Clutter-Free Classroom Project Challenge has you organizing your math materials.
Heidi (from Swampfrog's First Graders) stores her math games in hanging file boxes. Here's what I like about that:

- The bin is transparent so she was able to label it without risking the the label falling off.
- The containers are uniform.
- The games are sorted by skill. Storing items this way allows you to quickly access resources to target individual needs.
- She uses hanging file folders to further sort like items within a container.


















Love hanging file folders!

I SO need to do this - I have so many math/reading games & they are taking up space in my filing cabinets & all scrunched & hard to tell what is what - thanks for sharing!

Hey, I'm doing the same thing! This is SO WEIRD! I just blogged about it today. My change on this was to use poly envelopes instead of hanging folders. I took some photos if you're interested :)
