Math Manipulatives

Today I had the opportunity to visit many classes who were making use of math manipulatives.  We use math manipulatives to help students better understand math concepts and to explore mathematical ideas.

Some of the math manipulatives we use at Cleveland include base-ten blocks, 3D shapes, pattern blocks, tangram puzzles, dominoes, pentominoes, geoboard dot paper, interlocking cubes, tiles and number lines.

If you want to learn more about the world of math manipulatives, I recommend going online and searching. I like the following sites:

I am sure that there are many more excellent sites out there. These are good places to start.

Have some fun exploring math with your children. Go online, play math games, or use an iPad (I don’t have one, but I hear they’re fun).

Take care.
