Math Manipulatives Teacher Resources

Students develop an understanding of patterns and symmetry. In this symmetry and pattern lesson, students use real world patterns then analyze and extend them. Students also use real world items while discovering and observing symmetry. 

Learners extend patterns that are created by their teacher by using jellybeans. In this patterns lesson plan, students use 3 different colored jellybeans.

Students use literature (the story Rodeo Time) and appropriate manipulatives to learn and understand mathematics. In these creative thinking measurement lessons, students have a focal point on problem solving strategies while using...

High schoolers after completing the Part II (of 2) scientific notation online lab exercises, manipulate and interpret large numbers expressed in the "mantissa and exponent" format of scientific notation.

Students manipulate and interpret large numbers expressed in the "exponent" format of scientific notation.

Students practice extending patterns. In this patterns lesson, students demonstrate extending patterns by performing a rhythmic patter.

Learners explained and demonstrated what the Internet is and the safety rules for using it. They navigate the Internet using search tools and the browser.

Students explore how to use the Internet and how it can be a learning tool and a safe, informative place for them.

Students create a glossary of geometric terms while exploring tangram manipulatives.

Students count up to ten objects in a group to find out how many.

Students expand their knowledge of quadrilaterals and identify basic symmetrical forms. Over three weeks, they explore the math, application, and discussion of symmetry. After conducting Internet research, students create symmetrical...

Second graders explain the relative size of fractions using symbolic and concrete representations. Groups of four students play a game which uses cards and unifix cubes. The game helps them get a visual understanding for the 'size' of...

Students extend a pattern using everyday objects. They use sound and objects to make a pattern

Second graders decode words using given coordinates. They illustrate each with tangrams.

Fifth graders examine the South Dakota Quarter Reverse and identify the images on it. They discuss the accomplishments of the four presidents. They create coins of four people in their school. They arrange bags of plastic coins by their...

In this cube-it worksheet, 6th graders solve and complete 3 different types of problems. First, they start with a cube and build a step-back skyscraper with a given base. Then, students build four-sided pyramids with cubes. They also...

Third graders in a 3rd grade math class make connections from prior instruction and mastery to solve problems in new learning situations. Using logical thinking and prior knowledge to solve current math problems is the focus of this...
