A hands-on approach
Using counting manipulatives is a great way to engage students in learning. It's an interactive method of teaching that allows your students to explore math concepts and gain a better understanding through hands-on activities. Make learning early math easy and fun for young learners! The variety of shapes and types makes them appealing to all ages. Manipulative objects also help children develop fine motor skills and sharpen problem-solving skills as they use them to practice counting, sorting, making patterns and comparing numbers.
