Manipulatives by themselves are not as effective as when coupled with other classroom techniques. In fact just using manipulatives during math lessons is merely enough to guarantee comprehension. On the other hand, teachers must be able to make connections between the message and materials used. In similarity, teachers must also model to students how to properly use manipulatives, to eliminate any confusion or misunderstandings. The provided in this article are relevant to my role as a future teacher. The articles explains that in order to be an effective teacher, you must have the ability to learn and the humility be taught. Learning how to effectively manage and utilize manipulatives is very vital when teaching students math concepts. I agree with the basis of this article which suggest that math manipulatives can be helpful to a student’s learning gain. providing “By various manipulatives, teachers encourage students to think about math concepts in multiple ways (Heddens 2009).” Math manipulatives used correctly by educators have the ability students to encourage to broaden their idea of math concepts, and it allow students to be able solve math equations in multiple ways. This article influenced me in thinking deeply about my assumptions that all teachers are proficient in the skills that are needed in the integration of manipulatives in the math curriculum. The knowledge gained from this article will improve my teaching by ensuring that I incorporate manipulatives in mathematics instruction that will enhance the students learning. In conclusion, as a future educator. I will make learning interactive and innovative to many students. Being a teacher candidate I will make use of this new knowledge provided by this article by creating a learning environment that ensures that students are actively involved in the lesson. I will actively incorporate the use of math manipulatives in my classroom to ensure the potential learning gain of my students. . The information from this article has
