Join us for an interactive session designed to bring math to life through the strategic use of manipulatives. Hands-on tools can deepen understanding and support fluency in number and operations from Kindergarten through Grade 5. In this session, we’ll explore how concrete models—such as base-ten blocks, number lines, rekenreks, and more—can be used to build procedural fluency rooted in conceptual understanding.
Participants will engage with tasks aligned to key numeracy and operations standards, discover effective routines, and leave with ready-to-use strategies that honor the developmental progression of mathematical thinking. Whether you’re teaching addition in primary grades or multiplication in upper elementary, this session will equip you with practical tools to make math meaningful, visual, and accessible for all learners.
