Math Manipulatives
Using math manipulative can help students a great amount. It can just be a physical object for adding and subtracting or tangrams for fractions. Having a physical object to play with and look at can be a fun and easier way for students to learn. Rather than using just a boring flat piece of paper.

Having been a student who struggled with math in elementry school I really wished we would have had things like this to help me. I grew up with work sheets that I took home and did and in class exercises but I truley believe that having manipulatives like this could have helped me excel in math instead of struggle.
ReplyDeleteSarah,
ReplyDeleteI completely agree with you in that physical objects really help students to learn math. Rather than just seeing the math written on a piece of paper, they can actually use objects to show how to do the math. The website you have a link to is a great source for finding these math manipulatives. I remember using base ten blocks in elementary school to learn things like place value.
