The students in my class love to take turns punching holes in their school work. Easy to use and student proof.

Great hole punch stronger and construction than most does the job.

My students really enjoy using this to work out math problems.  They are working much harder now than they did before.  I purchased two and they really stack nicely too.  Very happy with the purchase.

My students get stamps for completing certain work on time, and staying on task.  The stamps are tallied and rewarded for x amount of stamps. They love it and it keeps them working.

Anyone who has spent any amount of time in an office or education setting has experienced this dilemma.  You have a stack of papers, you are on a deadline, and you have to get the papers hole punched and organized into a binder.  As you hurriedly shove stacks of paper into your hole punch and futilely try to punch through as many as possible, the punch sticks . . . leaving you with a ragged and torn mess of papers.  What is the answer to this problem? Scrap your junky punch and buy a the Spraco Heavy Duty Hole Punch.

Like most hole punchers, this product is fueled by good old fashioned elbow grease.  But after a couple good pushes... this product works easily with minimal physical effort. The Puncher arrives pre-set, but then you can manually adjust yo fit your need.  Plus it DOES drill through 30 sheets of 20 lb. paper at a time with three holes. Punch features three adjustable punch heads, centering guide, & a removable chip tray.  The only CON I have found is the weight. It is made with steel and you can feel the difference between this product and others. But for the job I can stand the weight. I plan on purchasing another hole puncher to give to college faculty who just can't find the perfect punch.

I think this is a great hole punch and over the many years in college and office work, I've never seen a punch that is heavy enough yet takes little room on my table. Clearly a quality product. I recommend it highly.

My students love this stamp pad.  It kind of smells like chocolate, enough for them to get very excited and turn their little noses all brown because they can't wait the few seconds it takes the stamp to dry before sticking it up to their faces for a sniff.

This thing is large and slightly heavy, and it works. You will need to unscrew one of the punchers on the bottom in order to remove the plastic punch guard it is shipped with. It'll have a big REMOVE sticker on it. Just take the bottom tray off, then unscrew under that REMOVE thingy. I tested the holes it creates by trying to line up the holes on some notebook paper, and although this doesn't produce the same holes in circumference or placement, the resulting holes do fit comfortably in a 3-ring binder. A good tool to keep on the home desk of a student. And the price is good.

Hands on!  That says it all for me.  Im constantly looking for new and engaging ways to interest my students and get their hands on items that will help them learn.  So when the folks at Learning Resources sent me their new Dive into Shapes, I knew my students were going to go crazy over it.
My little guys can never seem to get enough fine motor work, and if I can couple fine motor and working with shapes then I'm one happy teacher.  Plus, look at all those bright fun colors.  I have to admit, I couldn't resist diving in and working with these fun manipulatives. (It was actually a little bit addictive to tell you the truth.)
Dive into Shapes comes with a ton of colorful curves and straight plastic pieces including connecting balls.  These coupled with the playing cards included, had my kinder friends loving this activity during our learning stations.  The easily manipulated the pieces and quickly got into the groove of replicating the different shapes on the cards.
The cards provided just enough guidance for those that needed it, but also differentiated and extended learning by offering challenges beyond the basic shapes.  As an instructor, I could quickly assess to see which of my students could easily replicate the pictures and identify those that really needed more practice.
Since we had been studying 3D shapes as well, this activity was especially fun for students when I challenged them to make a cylinder, sphere, cube or cone (that was a tricky one).
They loved the bright colors to make patterns and come up with their own designs and creations or just work off from some of the ones on the cards.  This was definitely one of the quietest stations this go around as they seemed to engaged and were really concentrating on getting the pieces to fit 'just so.'

This hole punch is so easy to use and extremely heavy duty. It can punch a perfect hole into anything from a piece of tissue paper to a credit card. I use it everyday in mine and my mate's business and it still hasn't dulled! I recommend this product to anyone interested!

I purchased the Adam's Cube as a puzzle/problem solving game for my classroom.  Taking cues from the previous reviewer, I created a check-off log sheet that I initial when students complete each side.  When they have completed all six sides, I make them a "I conquered the Adam's Cube" certificate which goes on a "Master Minds" bulletin board outside my classroom door.  I have students who ask to stay in during their after-lunch recess and after school to work on the cube.  After seeing the bulletin board, the teacher across the hall from me wanted to borrow the cube so he could have a certificate on my wall, too!  My eighth grade students love this and for some who might struggle academically, they have a real sense of pride and confidence boost when they are able to complete a side or the cube.  It gives me the opportunity to talk to those students about different skills and how people have different strengths and ways of thinking.  I've even had students who aren't in my class ask to come and try to "conquer the cube" so they can have a certificate on the wall.  Five stars for the cube! :o)

Great punch.  I had one at school and had to buy another since I retired.

This is what all hole punchers should be like. It punches through paper/card stock like a dream! The only thing that is mildly frustrating  is that because of the design, it takes a second the figure out where the hole will be and then re-position it, but it's worth it for the smooth punch and easy squeeze mechanisms. This thing is very fun to use. I highly recommend!
