Virtual math manipulatives let visual and kinesthetic learners see and interact with math concepts. Their use ranges from the simple (such as interchanging blocks) to the complex (such as plotting angels on a chart). By using the manipulates, students can interact with the material without fear of making a mistake. Also, by bringing abstract concepts back to the concrete level students are frequently able to fill-in missing gaps in their knowledge.

Desmos Content Connections Outside of Math
Use this for lessons for ALL grades from elementary through college. There are open manipulatives where you can build your own manipulative, targeted manipulatives that are premade and shared across the GeoGebra community, and worksheet/workbook tools to include multiple choice and open ended questions with the manipulatives.
