Using Manipulatives Digitally
by Cailie Ryan
As an early elementary school teacher, my students used manipulatives daily! Sorting, moving, interacting, and showing their thinking using hands-on tools is a way that many students learn. However, we know that manipulatives are also time-consuming to make and manage, and they can be costly. When our team heard from many teachers that the ability to move and manipulate objects on Classkick would really help improve student learning and solve some of these issues, we knew we had to create something great for them. Enter manipulatives on Classkick!
No more standard manipulative tools. Teachers can create manipulatives from any image or word they wish! If you’re interested in learning more about how to create manipulatives, check out the video below.
