An ancient saying
I hear and I forget
I see and I remember
I do and I understand

I can’t Remember the formula

The definition of insanity
Doing the same thing over and over again and
expecting different results

Representing Numbers
• Use both color tiles and Base Ten Blocks to
represent numbers
• Maybe also have the numbers on index card in
numeral form, in words, and with tally marks
• To compare numbers, you can model each
number with color tiles (or other counters) and
line them up side by side to see which is taller

Linking Addition and
Subtraction
• Make 2 trains of color tiles- 5 of one color and 3 of
another
• Put the two trains together and write an addition
sentence that shows how you added the tiles together.
• Now take away the 3 of the 2nd color and write the
subtraction sentence that shows your modeling.
• The two different colors will benefit the visual kids.

l On each turn− Roll 1or 2 number cubes and add the values
together
− Record the value of the roll
− Place the longs and units on the flat
− Add value of roll to previous score
l If the roll takes you over 100, you lose your turn
![Page 14: Using manipulatives to develop numbers and operations/ Fractions](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051404/586d19d71a28ab816d8c026b/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
some variations
l Start with a flat and subtract
l Make the flat represent 100, the long 10, and the unit 1- you could also use the cube as 1000
l Have the students roll the cubes 10 times each-every time they can decide if they are going to add or subtract from their previous total- whoever is closet to 100 at the end wins!
l Use pennies, dimes, and dollars when working with money
![Page 15: Using manipulatives to develop numbers and operations/ Fractions](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051404/586d19d71a28ab816d8c026b/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Base 10 Exchange
Roll a number cube. First person to 100 is the
winner
If you roll a 1, take 1 long
If you roll a 2, take 2 longs
If you roll a 3-6, take that number of units
![Page 16: Using manipulatives to develop numbers and operations/ Fractions](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051404/586d19d71a28ab816d8c026b/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Four Hundred
Each player starts with 400 points. The object is to have the fewest points left after 10 rounds.
On each turn, the player tosses 2 number cubes, places the digits in any order to form a number and then subtracts the number from 400.
If you are unable to subtract with the number you tossed, wait for your next turn.
![Page 17: Using manipulatives to develop numbers and operations/ Fractions](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051404/586d19d71a28ab816d8c026b/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
4,321
Each player starts with 4,321 points. The object of the game is to subtract a four-digit number from 4,321 and have the smaller difference.
On each turn, the player tosses four number cubes and forms a number by combining the cubes in any order. Then he or she subtracts the number from 4,321
![Page 18: Using manipulatives to develop numbers and operations/ Fractions](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051404/586d19d71a28ab816d8c026b/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Each player compares the differences after each round and the person with the smaller difference earns a point.
Repeat game and the player with the more points after 10 rounds win the game.
![Page 19: Using manipulatives to develop numbers and operations/ Fractions](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051404/586d19d71a28ab816d8c026b/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
101 and Out
The goal is to arrive at a sum that is as close to 100 as possible without going over.
You will roll the number cube 6 times and each time after you roll, you decide if you want it to go in the 10s column or in the 1s column.
![Page 20: Using manipulatives to develop numbers and operations/ Fractions](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051404/586d19d71a28ab816d8c026b/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Target 300
The object is to be the player whose total is closest to 300 after six rolls of a number cube- you may be over or under.
After each of the 6 rolls, you decide if you want to multiply the number by 10, 20, 30, 40 or 50.

Why manipulatives matter
![Page 22: Using manipulatives to develop numbers and operations/ Fractions](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051404/586d19d71a28ab816d8c026b/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
• …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.
NCSM Position Statement
![Page 23: Using manipulatives to develop numbers and operations/ Fractions](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051404/586d19d71a28ab816d8c026b/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Research shows that the systematic use of visual
representations and manipulatives may lead to statistically
significant or substantively important positive gains in math
achievement. (Pages 30-31)
The evidence indicates, in short, that manipulatives can provide
valuable support for student learning when teachers interact
over time with the students to help them build links between the
object, the symbol, and the mathematical idea both represent.

weekly rather than a
monthly basis, they
prove to be 72% of
a grade level ahead

Virtual Manipulatives
• Virtual manipulatives are important tools for
teacher modeling and demonstration….
• …virtual manipulatives do not replace the
power of physical objects in the hands of
learners.

Fraction Language
Use partitioning (rather than dividing)
Use “ths” (rather than “over”)
Use simplify (rather than reduce)
Call them fractions (not improper)

Benefits of Manipulative-Based Teaching
1.Students learn and achieve at a higher level–Efficacy documented by decades of research studies
–Endorsed by leading organizations such as NCSM and NCTM, as well as many teaching experts, such as Marilyn Burns
2.Mathematical process standards are fully integrated into instruction–Students are analyzing mathematical relationships as they communicate
mathematical ideas.
–Students are selecting tools and techniques to solve problems.
–Students are creating and using a variety of representations of mathematical ideas
![Page 32: Using manipulatives to develop numbers and operations/ Fractions](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051404/586d19d71a28ab816d8c026b/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Benefits of Manipulative-Based Teaching
3.Mathematical concepts are taught consistently
with a common meaning across multiple
aspects of mathematics–These ideas extend beyond whole numbers to fractions & decimals and
to algebraic expressions.
4.Students develop critical problem solving and
strategic thinking skills –Variety of tools & strategies for different problems and settings
–More versatile and resilient than memorizing algorithms

Loose Links- the Introduction
• Make a pile of 19 color tiles. We are going to use these to make “chains” of equal length.
• If I were to roll a 5 on a number cube, this means we need to make 5 chains and then we'll set aside the leftover tiles or “loose links”.
• Now we'll do the same thing with the remaining 15 color tiles.

Tips for Getting Started
• Talk with your students about why manipulatives are important tools for learning mathematics.
• Set ground rules for using materials.
• Set up a system for storing materials.
• Provide time for free exploration of materials.
• Post class charts for reference.
• Make sure students handle the materials.
• Let parents get their hands on manipulatives.

“Teacher demonstrations alone
are as shallow as eating a
papaya in front of the class and
expecting them to know how it
tastes.”

Manipulatives and Questioning
• Can you make a model to show that?
• What did you notice when…?
• Does anyone have the same answer but a
different way to explain it?
• What ideas have we learned before that
could be useful in solving this problem?
• Can you describe your method to us?
Can you explain why it works?
