Elementary Math Manipulatives Teplates PatternsManipulatives are an essential part of a tutors tool kit! Children of all learning styles benifit from their use. If you have read my home page you will know that my aim with this site is to either give you everything you need for free or, direct you to another free resource.So what exactly are these tools?Well, they are anything that your kid can pick up in their hands, turn around, take apart or put together, that will reinforce their understanding of a basic math concept.
Have you used them before?You bet! Have you counted items such as building blocks with your child? How about sorting items such as coloring pencils by color? Maybe you have drawn a circle using a tin of canned food, because you couldn't find a compas! Well if you did, you created your own manipulative.As this site gets bigger, more and more ideas, suggestion and printables to make your specific teaching tools will appear here. I hope you enjoy them! If there is a specific template that you would like to see here, please contact me. I appreciate your feedback and suggestions. |
