Hands-on Math Materials for Special Education Students
Help me give my students hands-on materials to learn math! Money and coins, pattern blocks, geoboards, and measurement sets will help them access the math skills they need to be successful in life.
Using manipulatives and hands-on materials to learn math is not only important for all students but is especially important for students with disabilities. My students work incredibly hard to understand and learn math each day. Using concrete materials allows them to understand concepts that can be very hard to access.
Research says that " Manipulatives can be particularly effective in further developing conceptual understanding in mathematics (Witzel and Allsopp, 2007), because they help students relate concrete ideas to abstract ideas, as well as link informal approaches with formal approaches (Uribe-Flórez & Wilkins, 2010).
These tools will help them to work together as well as increase their independence in these skills. First and foremost, this will give all of my students with disabilities a chance to foster their conceptual understanding of foundational math concepts.
More than a third of students from low‑income households
