Switch-Its at School
Learning sticks when students can move ideas around with their hands. Switch-Its are magnetic dry-erase blocks that turn abstract concepts into concrete objects students can hold, write on, rearrange, and discuss.
They work on any magnetic surface, wipe clean between activities, and adapt to any subject. One set, hundreds of uses.

Science
Model systems, sequence processes, and reveal relationships across the life, physical, and earth sciences.
Math
Make numbers movable. Students build, decompose, and compare quantities they can physically arrange.
ELA
Build words, sentences, and stories piece by piece. Students manipulate language instead of just reading it.
Three ways teachers use Switch-Its
Whole class
On the board for shared modeling and discussion.
Small groups
At table stations for collaborative problem-solving.
Individual
At a desk for independent practice and assessment.
