Math Tools and Manipulatives

With Common Core Math, it's all about the HANDS ON! I love it!  The students love it!!! The only problem is that sometimes it's hard to distribute materials and give the students a place to keep everything! In my classroom, each table has a box, our math "tool box." I teach my students to know that they are mathematicians and they need tools to do their job!
At the beginning of our math time, each table captain goes to get their tool box and takes it to their table. It has all the manipulatives they will need- bears, counters, dice, cubes, etc!
I store the tool boxes in my math corner with my manipulatives and math word wall!
 
How do you store and distribute your math tools?
