My students need eight Osmo bases to use with their Osmo kits. Osmo's groundbreaking system fosters social intelligence and creative thinking by opening up the iPad to the endless possibilities of physical play with tangible, hands-on manipulatives. My students recently obtained an Osmo genus kit, with five smart games that transform your iPad into a hands-on learning tool. These award-winning games make core subjects—like math (Numbers) and spelling (Words)—fresh and fun. They also help kids hone essential skills like visual thinking (Tangram), creative problem-solving (Newton), and self-expression (Masterpiece), but only came with a single base. My students also obtained the Osmo pizza kit to practice handling money, and Osmo coding kit. These came with out a base and cannot be utilized until bases are obtained. These Osmo bases will allow students to collaborate on a single device while practicing skills that align with our curriculum and standards. Most importantly, students will be having fun while they learn at their "just right" pace with the support of these Osmo bases. The 10 drawers cart will help us organize our Osmo centers and will be easily accessible for the students and I.
