Overview Array rods are a length-based manipulative with each of the centimeter-based lengths color-coded to match a specific length. For example, below all the 10s are blue, 9s are purple, etc. On one side of each array rod is the printed numeral and the other side includes the discrete counts […]
Overview Conic sections manipulatives are helpful for high school students to better understand the connection between the cone and these two-dimensional graphs. Here, we share resources for creating these so each student can use the manipulatives to connect to the content. MakerSpace Files We provide a smaller version of the […]
Overview Fraction tiles are a length model for illustrating fractions. Most versions include a representation of the whole and eight different fraction types (1/2s, 1/3s, 1/4s, 1/5s, 1/6s, 1/8s, 1/10s, 1/12s) – but our version includes 1/9s, and the files can be edited so other denominators can be included in […]
Overview These linking number rods are a useful tool for teaching basic number concepts. Each rod is centimeter-length based on the number it represents. For example, the pink 7 rod below shows seven 1cm squares on the top. These can link together to teach/learn basic addition/subtraction and counting concepts. By […]
Overview Number frames are a variation of 10-frames in which each number (1-10) is arranged as part of a completed 10-frame and color coded by number. In the image below, a child can arrange a 3 (yellow) with a 7 (pink) and to be the same size and shape as […]
