virtual manipulatives

Virtual manipulatives, sometimes referred to as digital manipulatives, allow students to engage with concrete materials on digital devices to support their understanding of abstract ideas. They:

• support educators to differentiate lessons to address student learning needs and different learning styles

• provide opportunities for students to learn concepts in a developmentally appropriate, hands-on, experiential way

• enable students to develop problem-solving and reasoning skills, as well as reflect on their learning.
