Math-a-rama!


Math-a-rama!

This site is set up with a circus theme.  Each ticket represents a grade (K-6).  When you click on the ticket, it takes you to a screen with several options, one of which is eManipulatives.  Once inside, you can click your manipulative of choice and a new window will open.  All manipulatives open to a blank page where you can then choose and move around manipulatives on a blank "paper" or on a chosen work-mat.  these manipulatives can be used in the classroom to give students a visual representation of a mathematical concept.  They can also be used for independent practice in a math center where students are asked to solve a problem using the manipulatives first to model for their peers and then writing their answer/explanation on a recording sheet.

Standards:
The manipulatives are designated for use in grades K-6, so they would be good to address the following standard domains: counting and cardinality, operations and algebraic thinking, number and operations in base ten and number and operations - fractions.
