This unique DVD by Marilyn Burns provides highly accessible advice and examples to help educators maximize the benefits of using manipulatives for effective mathematics instruction in elementary classrooms. The DVD features teachers working with students in both small group and whole class settings, engaged in lessons that focus on specific manipulative (geoboards). The lessons incorporate problem solving and align to NCTM Standards.
This DVD explores using geoboards. DVD runs approximately 20 minutes and is accompanied by a comprehensive discussion guide on CD-ROM. The guide provides an overview of the lessons, guidelines for discussions, teaching tips, samples of student work, and ready-to-print PDFs of all blackline master worksheets. This resource is perfect for staff developers, workshop leaders, principals, teachers, teacher aides, and parents.
Educational products, manipulatives, and kits incorporate applied math and science principles into classroom and homeschool-based projects. Teachers in pre-K, elementary, and secondary classrooms use educational kits, products, and manipulatives alongside math, science, literacy, and STEM curriculum to demonstrate concepts and real-world applications through hands-on activities.
