1. Identify concepts to be taught and ways to represent them.
  • Design a teaching plan that employs a demonstration of the concept using manipulatives as examples.

2. Demonstrate and explain
  • Use demonstration to connect the manipulative(s), the concept and any new vocabulary. Model the way you expect the students to use the manipulatives.

3. Provide guided practice.
  • Walk the students through the procedure to be used, demonstrating how to use the manipulative an connecting the manipulative to the vocabulary to be learned.

4. Give students additional time for additional practice.
  • Give the students time to use the manipulative independently while you circulate around the classroom observing, giving feedback, and scaffolding language use.

5. Celebrate and review
  • Celebrate the students' demonstration of learning, taking the opportunity to connect to the manipulates learned.

6. Continue to assess and improve on your use of manipulatives throughout the curriculum.
  • Look for ways to support your students learning in new and motivating ways.

  •  Two calendars to mark down the days of the month
  • A ones/tens/hundreds chart to signify how many days of school the students have been attending.
  • A hundreds board that shows special days in summer school (first day of school, students' birthdays, first day of summer, and last day of school).
  • A separate hundreds board that she uses to cross out how many days they've been in school.  
  • Counting blocks to show the days of the month (black blocks) and a has a red block to signify what day it currently is. 
  • Coins to signify how many days of school the students have attended (22 pennies for 22 days of school, two dimes and 2 pennies for 22 days of school, and a dime, nickel and 6 pennies to signify 22 days of school)
