Teacher Reflections:
Manipulatives
- When students understand
that manipulatives are tools not toys, they are more likely to treat
them as such.
- Free exploration gives students
the chance to handle the manipulatives before the structured activity
begins.
- Developing ground rules
for using manipulatives helps with management.
- All students can benefit
from manipulatives.
- Because manipulatives are
engaging, students remember the activities and can apply their knowledge
to the FCAT.
