Virtual manipulatives for mathematics
Virtual math manipulatives are digitally accessed, visual representations of concrete math manipulatives. These virtual manipulatives are based upon the physical ones used in classrooms. They introduce mathematical concepts intuitively using visuals and can be used for teaching young students new topics that are relatively more difficult to explain.
Common manipulatives include base ten blocks, coins, 3d Blocks, tangrams, rulers, fraction bars, algebra tiles, geoboards, geometric planes, and solid figures.
