The first
was very
observe

week at the school

fun and interesting. I
that teacher use
manipulative to teach
math and
that is very exciting
and
engagement for
students to
learn mathematics.
Manipulatives source
are several such as, bought from market, brought from home and
made by teacher or students. It is also appropriate to teach
mathematics for all levels especially for children (KG-6). Generally,
using manipulative through teaching mathematics to the students is
very important. Because it is assist the students to understand the
idea rapidly. For example, the students in grade 2 learn about how
to solve subtraction questions. Most of students start to solve these
type of questions by using their fingers and that strategy may get
them a mistake (during counting the numbers). But the teacher can
teach them the subtraction 3 digit at the first by using base-tens
blocks which help them to understand more, thinking, avoid to get
mistakes and able to solve a mental math questions problemsolving. This
kind of manipulative
help the
students to have
deep
understanding of the
place value and
subtract the number
correctly.
Factually,
manipulative
help students to
remember and
explain what they
learn on
mathematics (Stein
2001).
In contrast, most
of students when they
start learning
mathematics by using
manipulative,
they will understand
at the first. But
when they will solve
the math
questions in their
book without using manipulative, may have a mistake. So, the
teacher may focus to teach the students by using manipulative with
giving more details and description.
