VES

OBJECTIVES:

To be able to DEFINE WHAT

MANIPULATIVES ARE.

To be able TO GIVE EXAMPLES OF

MANIPULATIVE ANDEXPLAIN.

To BE ABLE TO CHOOSE OF

WHATSHOULD BE USED AS

MANIPULATIVES IN A CERTAIN

LESSON FOR PROPER LEARNING.

How Math is Seen by most People?

•One way to lead students in learning actively in math is to use Manipulatives.

Students learn best when they are active rather than passive in their learning.

What are MANIPULATIVE

S???

Manipulatives are physical objects

students can handle and

manipulate in order to explore various

mathematical principles.

Maniplulatives are designed,marketed,

purchased, researched and used throughout

educational systems, but primarily in elementary

schools.

What are MANIPULATIVE

S???

Examples of Mathematical Manipulative

Geometric Blocks

Manipulatives Kit

Tangrams

Geo Strips

Geo Board

Complex Solid Figures

Objectives of Mathematical Manipulative

Manipulatives Support the Lesson’s Objectives

Provide Opportunity To Make The Learning Process More Smooth And

Interesting

Considers The Child(Ren) Learning Styles When Planning The Lesson And

Choosing The Appropriate Manipulatives.

Encourage The Child(Ren) To Talk And Write About What They Have

Learned.

Help The Child(Ren) To Move From

Manipulatives To Paper-And-Pencil

Operations.
