Slide6Manipulatives
Write a reason why
manipulatives
are important to use in your math class on a sticky note and then share with each other at your table.
Slide7An Interesting Fact
Since ancient times, people of several different civilizations have used physical objects to help them solve everyday math problems

Slide8Why are Manipulatives Important?
They are physical student objects that are used as teaching tools to engage the students in the hands-on of learning mathematics.
Slide9A good manipulative bridges the gap between informal and formal math.
Slide10Manipulatives
can help students learn by allowing them to move from concrete experiences to abstract reasoning.
Slide11The effective use of
manipulatives
can help students connect and integrate their knowledge so they gain a deep understanding of mathematical concepts.
Slide12Manipulatives
can improve mathematics achievement .
Slide13Studies suggest that
manipulatives
can improve the environment in math classrooms.
Slide14Long term retention of mathematical concepts can improve with the use of
manipulatives
.

Slide24An Interesting Fact
The late 1800’s saw the invention of the first true manipulative-maneuverable objects that appeal to several different senses and are specifically designed for teaching mathematical concepts.
Slide25An Interesting Fact
In the early 1900’s, Italian educator Maria Montessori continued with the idea manipulatives are important to education. She designed several materials to help elementary students learn the basic ideas of math.
Slide26Under Number
