My students need to have hands-on experiences to solve problems. For some reason when kids enter 3rd grade and above, teachers feel like small group math and manipulatives are through. I have experienced more success when students are able to take part in the learning process. Small group math is a way to shape lessons individually for each student and using math manipulatives that students can touch helps them to visualize information further. To be able to see the difference, using the volume kit, between quarts and pints and gallons and cups is much more meaningful than just reading about them. Playing games that review skills learned also bring the information into a more realistic view, then just reading a math problem. I have made many manipulatives to use, but they don't stand up day after day. Having tangible fraction bars, for example, will help them to see and move fractions for a better understanding. I also let them get out rulers and scales so they can practice measurement skills, rather than just answer questions that they had to memorize the information for.
