Classroom manipulative which means "all the practical apparatus that we use in our classrooms such as Multilink cubes, Dienes apparatus, counters, place value counters, bead strings, and Cuisenaire rods" in addition, classroom manipulative is important to identify the math concept for the primary schools. So provide models in your classroom will support you as a teacher by giving the concept for the students in an easy way that they will allow the students to understand it better.

Classroom manipulative which means "all the practical apparatus that we use in our classrooms such as Multilink cubes, Dienes apparatus, counters, place value counters, bead strings, and Cuisenaire rods (Back, 2013). In addition, classroom manipulative is important to identify the math concept for the primary schools. Kids need the thing to touch and see to recognize the concept of the lesson. So provide models in your classroom will support you as a teacher by giving the concept for the students in an easy way that they will allow the students to understand it better and will note waste your time. Teaching practice Moreover, in the teaching practice, I have seen my MST classroom provide with a lot of models and tools that support the lesson that she taught. Additionally, she put all the tools in the boxes in the classroom so when she need it will be available for her. Furthermore, one of tool that I saw my MST use is the cubes the lesson was about addition. So to identify the lesson the teacher let the students use the cubes to add. For example 5+1 the students will make five cubes then they will add one cube to get the result which it is 6. Relate the math with real things, will be a good idea because it facilitates the understanding of pupils. Also, when I ask my MST about the lessons that she prepare she told me that she use the lesson plan to organize the lesson and to fit the time. For example, she start with review with the previous lesson, then identify the lesson and the tool that support the lesson, and the last thing is to evaluate them by letting them solve questions. This one way that my MST writes her lesson. Also about the time for the activities, it depends on the students understanding if the students get the lesson fast, it will take a short time but if not it will take longer. Also preparing the tools, my MST classroom is provided with the tools that support the lesson and help the students to get the concept. So when the teacher uses the tool, first of all, she gives clear, simple instruction for the students because there are in grade one so putting simple instruction it will be much better than complex instruction that the children dont understand. Then she does a model about how we can use the tool before she gives the students the tools. Conclusion Overall, there are a lot of ways to teach the students the math but using classroom manipulative is the best way as I think because the
students will learn by doing and explore. So if the students do and
make they will not forget the concept fast as watching the teacher give the lesson on the board. References Bank, J. (2013). Manipulatives in the Primary Classroom. Retrieved from http://nrich.maths.org/10461
