Tips on Using Manipulatives
By Norman Labush
Plan ahead - Have the manipulatives ready for student use
Prepare bags or containers ahead of time.
Have the manipulatives easily accessible for the students.
Allow the students time to explore the manipulative before you use them for a lesson.
Make student rules for using manipulatives.
Maintain a brisk pace when teaching a lesson.
Allow students to make predictions and estimations.
Allow a great deal of time for exploration. Use a timer.
Use correct terminology, but do not let the vocabulary get in the way of the lesson.
Always be ready to ask questions or pose challenges for those who finish quickly.
Clean them.
