(Will be updated as the year goes on)
Below is a list of the materials I used for each assessment in the school year, this doesn't include demos, just necessities for the assessments themselves. I tried to be specific to the amount I used, though this will vary depending on the number of classes and how you set up groups. Not listed are things like scales, rulers, and meters sticks that I would expect each department to have. Some materials may be used year after year, but many need to be bought each year.
