I wanted to get answers to these questions from teachers who have extensive Makerspace experience, and not just at the secondary level.

Best for elementary (grades K-5). Best for secondary (grades 6-12). Variation: A favorite purchase of mine for the classroom (that luckily was bought by my school with some STEM money) was Exploragons.

I believe it really stems from our ability to actually understand the conceptual understanding behind the mathematics. So I’ve learned a ton, getting to spend all kinds of time in elementary as well as secondary. I like to think that if I’m a high school teacher, I can’t just focus on the secondary curriculum.
