  • Summary

  • Manipulatives are a great tool to help students connect a physical model to mathematics. Whether you're using algebra tiles, base 10 blocks, or "patty" paper, manipulatives not only bring engagement to math class, but a kinesthetic connection that many students need to see the math. If you are using the practices in "Building Thinking Classrooms in K-12 Math" by Peter Liljedahl, then you know that combining student use of manipulatives and working on vertical non-permanent surfaces can sometimes be complicated. In this episode, our district math coaches, Mel Roche and Sarah Harris, join me to talk about the work they have done with elementary teachers in using manipulatives in a BTC setting. We also talk about the much needed use of algebra tiles in the secondary level.

    If you have been wondering, "how can I use manipulatives in a BTC setting", then this is the episode for you!
