My Project

Incorporating sensory manipulatives into the classroom is essential for promoting engagement and understanding in STEM learning, particularly among students with diverse sensory processing needs. By using tools like Lincoln Logs, magnetic track tiles, construction sets, wooden building blocks, a kitchen playset, cars with tracks, Mega Blocks, and animal figures, students can deepen their understanding of basic physics, engineering principles, spatial awareness, and problem-solving.

For example, building with magnetic tiles allows students to experiment with concepts like balance, symmetry, and structural stability, while cars on a track help illustrate motion, speed, and cause-and-effect relationships.

Manipulatives like construction sets and blocks let students explore concepts of geometry, pattern recognition, and 3D visualization, crucial skills for developing mathematical reasoning and scientific thinking.

These hands-on activities foster active engagement, encourage curiosity, and support critical thinking skills foundational to STEM education. The manipulatives allow students to make predictions, test hypotheses, and collaborate with peers, building a foundation for teamwork and perseverance in problem-solving.
