This online manipulative has several different tools to offer:
- Tables
- Coin Toss
- Spinner
- Number Line
- Counter
- Graphs
- Fractions
- Attributes
- Place Value
- Money
- Pattern Blocks
Each of these tools are contained in a treasure chest. Once you click on the treasure chest, you may have to choose between level 1 and level two. Then, you are taken to a blank page where you can choose your "placemat" and desired manipulatives. For example, you can use the number lines to do addition or subtraction with the help of a kangaroo that hops from number to number. In the pattern blocks treasure chest, you can measure shapes and rotate them. In the bottom right corner of each page (after you open the treasure chest) is a little robot that is available to help. All you have to do is ask (or click on him)! As a classroom resource, these tools would be great for whole group modeling and teaching. They would also be a great resource for visual learners to have support in the classroom.
