Working with Manipulatives





For those of you not familiar with the term "math manipulatives," I thought I'd show everyone an example of just how awesome they can be!

By putting the shapes onto a pre-drawn image, the kids were able to manipulate them and come up with four different ways to fill in the same picture. It was a challenging but rewarding experience for all!
