Effective Classroom Manipulatives Strategies

The document discusses the use of manipulatives and hands-on activities in the classroom to help students understand lessons. It describes how the author observed their MST teacher using cubes with numbers to teach math concepts, as well as geometry shapes to solve equations. The teacher plans activities for each lesson and uses different materials related to the topic and students' level. Before activities, the teacher provides clear instructions on using the materials so students understand and remain engaged. Using manipulatives helps students develop thinking and kinesthetic skills while achieving learning objectives through participation.

Task 2. Classroom Manipulatives.

In education teachers must use some different materials so the students


could understand the contents that they learn it. When I visit Al Nakheel
school I saw my MST she used some different materials for students, so
she can explain the lesson and be sure that students will understand the
lesson from the real materials for example, she was bringing for the
students some cubes that contains numbers and the students should create
a worksheet that contains mathematical calculations through the numbers
and after that they stick the paper on the math corner. Through my last
experience in the school I saw many strategies, the teacher was using it
for the students and it was geometry shapes, she was using geometry
shapes to solve equations and she also used cube dice, if the students
threw the dice and got number one they should write just one equation
and if they threw the dice and got number two they must write two
equations, this strategy helps the students to understand the lesson in an
interesting way. We should make a plan for any work that we have to do,
and I learned from my MST this strategy because she was writing the
plan for every lesson that she teach for the students and every lesson have
a different plan from each other lessons, and from the questions that are
in the book the teacher puts a plan for the lesson. The teacher takes in
each activity 5 minutes sometimes, but there are many different activities
that takes long time because students couldn’t understand and achieve the
activity, The teacher starts looking on the concept of the lesson and she
choose the best materials that is related to the student's level and the
questions that are in the book so the student could understand the lesson
easily. Before the teacher starts the activity she gives the instructions to
the students and how will they use the materials, so they don’t start
without understanding and they work with the activity with an interested
feelings. Using the materials in the classroom will make the students
develop their thinking skills and will achieve the activity from
participating, and will develop through the activity kinesthetic skills.
