Manipulatives can be a powerful learning tool to help students discover and represent mathematical concepts.
This course explores ways to increase conceptual understanding through the use of concrete and virtual manipulatives.
We will support this learning with discussions on connecting representations and integrating research based instructional strategies.
Participants will walk away with manipulatives for their classroom and ideas on how to use them effectively.
