Presented to: Dr. Ava Clare Marie O. Robles Class Schedule: Daily/8:00- 10:00 Presented by: Ierine Joy L. Caserial Republic of the Philippines MINDANAO STATE UNIVERSITY COLLEGE OF EDUCATION Fatima, General Santos City Module 1: COMMON MATHEMATICAL GADGETS OR APPARTUSES Lesson 2: Examples and Objectives of Mathematical Manipulative

Take the mystery out of math with the use of… MATH MANIPULATIVES

OBJECTIVES:

How Math is Seen by most People?

One way to lead students in learning actively in math is to use Manipulatives. Students learn best when they are active rather than passive in their learning.

What are MANIPULATIVES ??? Manipulatives are physical objects students can handle and manipulate in order to explore various mathematical principles. Maniplulatives are designed,marketed, purchased, researched and used throughout educational systems, but primarily in elementary schools.

What are MANIPULATIVES ???

Objectives of Mathematical Manipulative Manipulatives Support the Lesson’s Objectives Provide Opportunity To Make The Learning Process More Smooth And Interesting Considers The Child(Ren) Learning Styles When Planning The Lesson And Choosing The Appropriate Manipulatives.

Encourage The Child(Ren) To Talk And Write About What They Have Learned. Help The Child(Ren) To Move From Manipulatives To Paper-And-Pencil Operations.
