Fifth graders manipulate and draw shapes to demonstrate the concept of flips, slides, and turns using letters and arrows on graph paper.
Curated OER
"Shapes" Dance Lesson Plan
Sixth graders create dances by manipulating shapes with their bodies.
Curated OER
Marvelous Mathematics
Students make a table on the computer, but create fractions and equivalent fractions through the use of color. They are able to manipulate fractions in order to gain a greater understanding of the meaning of whole number that is broken...
Curated OER
Tension and Compression
Students experience the forces of tension and compression by manipulating objects that are strong in each but not in both. Students construct a simple model of a beam bridge.
Curated OER
Tension and Compression
Students explore the forces of tension and compression by manipulating a variety of objects, and apply what they learned in the construction of a model bridge.
Curated OER
Monitoring Energy Expenditure
Learners use heart rate monitors and complete a swimming and running test. These tests allow students to obtain personal data, to manipulate the data through calculations of various parameters, and to graphically represent the data.
Curated OER
Relative Size - Wide and Narrow
Students distinguish between wide and narrow manipulatives and sort accordingly. They use construction paper strips, ribbon, fabric strips, books, popsicle sticks and sock puppets.
Curated OER
Multiplication and Division with Arrays
Students practice the commutative property, create and manipulate arrays and multiply and divide numbers.
Curated OER
Double-Digit Addition with Regrouping
First graders recall place value system and double-digit addition, create and manipulate double-digit regrouping, and devise and identify ways to use regrouping.
Curated OER
Relative Weight
Second graders distinguish the difference between pounds and ounces and arrange manipulatives from heaviest to lightest.
Curated OER
"Probably Pistachio" by Stuart J. Murphy
Students use manipulatives and examine situations where probability can be used.
Curated OER
Motion of the Sun and Earth: Using a Classroom Model to Explore Rotation and Revolution
Young scholars use a concrete model of the Sun and Earth to observe and manipulate a 3-D model of the Sun and Earth.
Curated OER
Eclipse: Using a Classroom Model to Explore the Moon's Shadow
Young scholars manipulate and observe a 3-D model which simulates the activity of the Sun, Earth and Moon during a solar eclipse.
Curated OER
Pulley Power
Third graders engage in a manipulative experiment in the mechanical advantage of simple machines. It graphically demonstrates the change in magnitude of applied force when using simple machines. Great for ESL to discover the ratio...
Curated OER
Magical Shapes
First graders practice manipulating shapes into different locations. They see that even though shapes may look different when they are moved into different locations, the shape remains the same with the same properties. They make...
Curated OER
Fun With Symmetry
Students manipulate shapes to find multiple lines of symmetry. They use color to visualize the lines of symmetry.
Curated OER
Making Cents of Division
Third graders use pennies as manipulatives to solve simple division problems. They create division number sentences to correspond with each exercise. This is a good, hands-on way to teach the concept of division.
Curated OER
Geometry Gymnastics
Students identify shapes and manipulate 2 and 3 dimensional objects. They view objects from different perspectives and review relative positions (near, far, between). They sing a shape song.
Curated OER
That's a Fine Line You're Walking!
Students experiment with Hiker program to practice real world applications of linear functions and develop their understanding of expressions, relationships, and manipulations involved in writing and graphing linear equations in...
Curated OER
Big Clown Face
Students use complementary media to fill up the art space with repeated shapes. They use a water and wax technique to manipulate the surface of the artwork.
Curated OER
Learn Fractions with Cuisenaire Rods
Students study fractions with the use of manipulatives. They use Cuisenaire Rods to visualize problems and solve them.
Curated OER
The Cantankerous Pathogen
Students explore what factors influence the spread of infectious diseases. They explain how human manipulation of the environment affects the transmission of diseases.
Curated OER
Applied Evolution: How Will We Get There from Here?
Learners explore the basic process of natural selection and how people can manipulate that process today. The consequences of natural selection on daily life and the implications of evolutionary biology in basic and applied science is...
