Virtual Manipulatives

Parent Guide
Why use virtual manipulatives?
Virtual manipulatives provide students with
access to tools they need for learning without
having to locate hands-on resources, especially
if they might not be readily available.

It is easy to use and looks just like the real

representation of the tools.

Virtual manipulatives can include a variety of

tools such as money, base ten blocks, pattern
blocks, counting counters, and many more!

Some common tools are listed on the next

slides.
