Essential question
A.
The use of manipulatives in numeracy will increase enjoyment while reinforcing learning
outcomes, deepen understanding of the concepts with a tactile component, and provide
students with a relevant authentic connection to the real world.

Division Manipulatives
These
students
struggled with
the concept of
division with
verbal
explanation
and drawings.
After being
given white
boards and
something
tangible to
hold, they
were able to
better
understand.
Telling Time
I had the students build
clocks in the shape of
flowers. We thought of the
petals as the 5 minute
increments and the short leaf
as the hour hand and the
long leaf as the minute hand.
They had to fill in all the
blanks and then we played
games with them.
Students
experimented
with fractions
and measuring
cups. We put
this to real life
when we made
our own bread
for our 1st
Eucharist
family bread
sharing
celebration

Anything extra
that I want my
Principal to
know..
I will be honest, I was terrified to teach math. I'm very happy with my choice to
do my essential question in an area I was scared to explore. After creating
manipulatives, and games to go along with existing ones, math became my
favourite subject to teach!
