I'm already thinking about next school year!  I am excited about two purchases I made yesterday on amazon.com

The first one is a set of Learning Resource Buzzers.

I also purchased a set of  Magnetic Whiteboard Spinners.

I am envisioning drawing a circle on the board with the student's choices - whatever they might be - and then giving the spinner a spin.  I won't have to be the bad guy - a way to liven up math class.  What could be better :)
