Teachers of mathematics for centuries have helped students understand mathematics using “manipulatives”--visual objects that help illustrate mathematical relationships & applications. Manipulatives allow students to visually examine, explore & develop concepts. The National Library of Virtual Manipulatives has transported these powerful teaching tools into the virtual dimension of the computer. The collection of over 100 interactives, software programs, and applets is an effective means for accelerating and deepening students’ understanding of math. | |
