Math Manipulatives
Do you currently use any math manipulatives?
What kind?

Why Use Manipulatives?
• Recommended by math experts
• Aligns with CCSS
• C-R-A Instruction
• Motivating and Engaging

Why Use Manipulatives?
Position Statement of 2013:
“In order to develop every student’s mathematical
proficiency, leaders and teachers must
systematically integrate the use of concrete and
virtual manipulatives into classroom instruction at
all grade levels.”
- -National Council of Supervisors of Mathematics

Recommendation 5.
Intervention materials should include opportunities
for students to work with visual representations of
mathematical ideas and interventionists should be
proficient in the use of visual representations of
mathematical ideas.

Why Use Manipulatives?
I hear and I forget. I see and I
remember. I do and I understand.

Example:
Newton’s Third Law of Motion:
For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. The statement means that in every interaction, there is a pair of forces acting on the two interacting objects. The size of the forces on the first object equals the size of the force on the second object.

Why Use Manipulatives?
Common Core State Standards for Mathematics
1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.
2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively.
3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of
others.
4. Model with mathematics.
5. Use appropriate tools strategically.
6. Attend to precision.
7. Look for and make use of structure.
8. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.

C-R-A
Concrete =
Math concept is modeled with
concrete (physical) materials
![Page 15: Making the most of math manipulatives](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050914/58f130f71a28ab9c258b456d/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
C-R-A
Representational =

How to Use Manipulatives
![Page 21: Making the most of math manipulatives](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050914/58f130f71a28ab9c258b456d/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

How to Use Manipulatives
• Use regularly.
• Let students mess with materials first.
• Use before teaching algorithm.
![Page 23: Making the most of math manipulatives](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050914/58f130f71a28ab9c258b456d/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
How to Use Manipulatives
• Use various manipulatives for the
same math concept.
• Have students draw manipulatives in
their solution.
• Use manipulatives as basis of math
conversation or writing.
![Page 24: Making the most of math manipulatives](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050914/58f130f71a28ab9c258b456d/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
How to Use Manipulatives
• Connect the more abstract math concept
to the manipulatives as student learns.
• Let the manipulatives serve the math, not
the other way around.

Examples
• Counting tiles
• Cuisenaire Rods
• Unifix Cubes
• Algebra Tiles

Thank you!
Continue the great work you do with our
students. You make a difference!
