Hands on manipulatives will allow my resource room students to see, touch, and manipulate volume, area, perimeter, fractions, multiplication and more instead of just imagining these concepts while solving problems on paper or electronic devices, which is often a huge struggle for them. These concrete representations will help create a solid base of knowledge of these often hard to grasp concepts, giving them a strong foundation at an early age. Struggling students need to see and touch their mathematics in order to truly grasp the standards we are trying to solidify in them. Being able to fold and unfold shapes to count faces, edges, vertices and nets; being able to use Magna tiles to construct and then solve to find area and perimeter along with identifying and measuring angles and being able to use cubes to understand volume gives my students such a base knowledge of geometry skills before going on to higher level math. Using giant magnetic fraction pieces not only gives my learners a hands on approach to fractions, but it enables me to place these giant fractions on my white board for my in-person learners to manipulate and my on-line learners to "see" what I am explaining on videos or zoom calls. All of these geometry skills are hard to teach/learn when students are not in the same room with you. Using manipulatives during a video is a huge help. Being able to add these elements of see and touch to my resource room math class would help me reach so many more students than by just using traditional and even technology methods.
