Survey

This question was used to gauge the perceptions of manipulative use in the upper elementary classroom. I chose to allow participants to select all that apply instead of just one answer, as I wanted to see if they're selections were one-sided or if there was  juxtaposition amongst their choices.

I included these two questions to find out the current amount of manipulative use in the participating teachers' math classrooms.  I chose to separate these into two categories: whole group lessons and small group lessons.  This allowed me to see if manipulatives are currently being used in one setting more than the other. Participants could only choose one answer on this question.

Participants were able to select multiple answer choices on this question regarding the types of manipulatives used in classrooms. The manipulatives I chose came from options that are currently available in the math storage closet in the school where the survey was conducted. 

Thu purpose of this question was to show how participants would like to learn more about manipulatives in order to improve their experiences with manipulatives in the classroom. Participants were asked to select three of the options below or input their own answer choice. This required participants to rank the options and choose their top three ways of learning more about/improve their experiences with manipulative use in the classroom.
