Annotation For Comprehension

THANK YOU

Concrete stage – the

stage of learning in

which students work

only with the

manipulatives to

understand a

mathematical

concept, symbols

are absent during

this stage

Representational stage – also called the

“pictorial stage”, the stage in which

students use pictures in the same manner as

manipulatives, the manipulatives may or may

not be present. It is also the stage in which

students may watch the manipulation of

manipulatives instead of doing it themselves.

Abstract – the stage in

which there are no

manipulative or pictorial

help but symbols are

used instead. Students

manipulate the symbols

using the math concepts

learned from the

previous stages
