Manipulatives
Manipulatives make math learning concrete and engaging by transforming abstract concepts into tangible, hands-on experiences that activate multiple senses. This play-based strategy encourages exploration, problem-solving and multiple ways or knowing while deepening understanding of mathematical concepts.
Hands-on manipulatives can be purchased using SLRF or PLRF. Below are virtual manipulative suggestions and Canadian distributors of hands-on manipulatives.
