4.0 out of 5 stars Students love the fairness and fun of using it for team selection etc.,
9-12 still love to go to the board and pick teams. The spinners provide a fair and suspenseful way to get all kids engaged in the set up stage of an activity. Wish I could think of more ways to use the spinners.

1.0 out of 5 stars Spins, but not consistantly!
I bought this product to help teach probability in my middle school math class. These spinners have a strong tendency to land vertically. Even if it stops horizontally, the weight of the spinners will cause them to turn vertically, making it impossible for the spinners to land on anything other than the "12/6" directions.

These spinners are an excellent addition to your teaching toolbox. These spinners have a strong magnetic back that holds the spinner to any magnetized surface. I draw a large circle, divide it into sections and label each. My students spin the spinner and the whole group game begins. They absolutely love it! It is also a great method to teach probability!

5.0 out of 5 stars They Stick, They Spin, They Point. Nuff Said., December 10, 2011

This review is from: Educational Insights SpinZone Magnetic Whiteboard Spinners (Office Product)
The only negative thing about these spinners is that they drift down the magnetic whiteboard if they're spun too hard, and I cannot say there's a way to design around that - unless a really strong magnet would do the trick. But seriously, get yourself a magnetic whiteboard, draw a circle and voila! I've used it in class for quiz games; I've used it with adults for icebreakers; I've used it with youth as a way to randomize who does what task/chore. If all my teaching supplies were stolen, I'd re-order this in a jiffy. Some educators make "emergency lists" for when they travel/substitute teach. This would be on my top 10 list.

I'd actually rate it a 4.5 out of 5, but seeing as the average to date is 4 stars, I'll give it 5.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great purchase!, October 15, 2011

Very kid friendly and easy to use in the classroom. The only thing I would improve in the spinners are stronger magnets because when the kids use them, sometimes they knock the spinner so that it moves around on the board. Otherwise, I am very happy with this purchase and recommend it to all teachers!
