Schools and teachers often find manipulatives gathering dust in the back of a closet. Our Summer webinar 2016 series will be an opportunity to explore new uses for familiar manipulatives as well as learn about new tools to add to your toolkit.
In part three of our three part series, Dr. Sara Delano Moore shared manipulatives which help students develop conceptual foundations for integers, expressions, and equations. Learn about using Algebra Tiles and Algeblocks to help students make sense of integers and algebra by seeing them as a continuation of their elementary work.
