Research Report: Manipulative Materials

Abstract
In responses to questionnaires. most teachers indicate that they believe that manipulative materials (chips, blocks, fraction pieces, etc.) should be used for mathematics instruction. Children should be involved in the process of doing mathematics, and the use of concrete materials is integrally related to the development of meaning. As children work with objects and talk about what they're doing, they begin to see relationships— to learn mathematics.
