My Project
Math manipulatives, such as counting blocks, fraction circles, and geometric shapes, provide students with tangible tools to explore mathematical concepts. This hands-on approach helps make abstract ideas more concrete, improving comprehension and retention.
Using manipulatives makes learning interactive and fun.
This increased engagement can spark curiosity and a positive attitude toward math, especially for students who may struggle with traditional teaching methods. Every student learns differently. Visual and kinesthetic learners, in particular, benefit from manipulatives because they allow them to see and physically engage with mathematical ideas, making lessons more inclusive and effective.
Manipulatives help students visualize problems and experiment with solutions, fostering critical thinking and problem-solving skills. They encourage students to explore multiple methods for solving a problem.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
