Taking a look at this example, it says, what are the manipulatives in a mathematics classroom? all right, so down here at the bottom, i have my answer to that.
00:10
In math classrooms today, teachers are using manipulatives to help their students learn mathematics.
00:15
Manipulative materials are any concrete objects that allow students to explore an idea in an active, hands -on approach.
00:22
Manipulatives can be almost anything blocks, shapes, spinners, or even paper that is cut and folded.
00:27
All right, so manipulatives are tangible tools.
00:37
To help with learning.
00:42
Tangible tools to help with learning.
00:45
What benefits do learners gain from using manipulatives and teaching mathematics concepts give three benefits, puts pictures to symbols, gives a hands -on approach, and also allows learners to physically touch and work with.
01:28
So it takes the number three and physically puts three things in your hand.
01:32
All right.
01:33
So 6 .3, suppose your grade 7 learner is difficulties in understanding subtraction of integers, in particular problems of the form.
01:43
All right.
01:43
So i have three positives.
01:46
So i'm going to put, i'll be using green for positives.
01:50
So three positives.
01:53
And i have five negatives.
02:04
So i want to take away five negatives.
02:08
So in order for me to take away five negatives, i have to have five negatives to take away.
02:16
Which i do not have five negatives.
02:20
So i have to introduce five negatives to this question.
02:27
But in turn, i also have to have the corresponding opposite of our addition to make a zero pair.
02:37
All right.
02:37
So i want to introduce five negatives.
02:41
One, two, three, four, five.
02:45
But with that comes our eight, with our eight, our five positives.
02:51
One, two, three, four, five.
02:56
Now what we do is we take a look at how many negatives we have left because now we can take away our five...
