How to use the manipulatives beyond calculations.

# data[].attributes.body
How do we have enough manipulatives for every single student or use manipulatives in every single lesson?

# data[].attributes.body
What are the best manipulatives to use for each standard?

# data[].attributes.body
How do we find the time to use as often as we should?

# data[].attributes.body
1. Using CRA for word problems.

2. Addresses many of the learning styles in the classroom.

3. Three step approach - in that order.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Starting concrete regardless
2. Using technology as a manipulative
3. Knowing students and seeing student perspective

# data[].attributes.body
1. word problems
2. tools for developing number sense
3. way for students to show their thinking

# data[].attributes.body
1) fractions - students can move fraction tiles to compare and find equivalent pieces
2) decomposing numbers -showing how to break a number down several different ways
3) multiplication and division - manipulating groups (equal sharing of objects)

hands on learning-
multiple representations of  one standard
visual/tangible
students are engaged

# data[].attributes.body
1. Students need exposure to different strategies, but for the same concept.

2. Students need the concrete experience to get to the end result.

3. Manipulatives show the how and the why with the numbers.

4. Students enjoy hands-on learning and the manipulatives are fun to use.

# data[].attributes.body
1) starting with concrete and gradually moving towards symbols
2) high student engagement
3) showing concept multiple ways
4) visually see as they are solving problems

# data[].attributes.body
-Concrete learning something that's new is where we should start.
-More active learning is involved with using Manipulatives.
-Makes math more engaging.
-Works well in station work

Triangle:
-Great to differentiate since students are at different levels!
-can't use always during assessments.
-Hits on Learning styles

Circle:
-When and what do I use manipulative wise?

# data[].attributes.body
1. Good standards to use for manipulatives - base tens, fractions
2. Progression of CRA
3. Give them time to play
4. Knowing the educational name of manipulatives

# data[].attributes.body
-the progression starting with concrete first
-hands on
-helps students make connections with math concepts
-multiple learning modalities

Triangle-
-word problems or problem of the day
-have manipulatives easily accessible
-student choice: give students choice on what manipulatives they want to use

Circle-
What is a good starting place for implementing manipulatives in the classroom?

# data[].attributes.body
How can you use dice to demonstrate a concrete math idea?

# data[].attributes.body
-Placing manipulatives on math pacing guide

-I think its important to give students choice of manipulatives to represent a task

-You are never too old for manipulatives

-I think manipulatives can be found for every concept

Triangle:

3 ways to use:
1.Students to create videos of models to represent a concept and post to class webpage

2. Students need to use manipulatives to model difficult concepts

3. Manipulatives can photo into google draw and can be shown as examples to class

How do you bridge from semi-concrete to abstract for a student who isn't ready?

# data[].attributes.body
CRA- math progress of learning
start with manipulatives
Manipulatives can be used to teach all ages
Hands on

Triangle

# data[].attributes.headline
Square: 1. Should be used for all grades

# data[].attributes.subject
Square: 1. Should be used for all grades

# data[].attributes.body
2. Concrete first
3. Representational next
4. Abstract last
Triangle:
1. Manipulatives can be used different ways
2. Hands on learning = engaging
