Teaching with Manipulatives
Teaching with manipulatives is a great way to increase the learning of your students. It helps children to learn when they can see, feel, touch, and manipulate objects. I taught a math lesson using ten-blocks as a manipulative in the classroom. The children were able to group these blocks in an array system to solve for the correct answer. I think using manipulatives also makes a lesson more fun for the students. Here is a link to my lesson plan where I used the ten-blocks. Link to lesson plan.
