Hands-On Math: Learning Addition and Subtraction Through Manipulative Activities is based on the ancient Chinese proverb, "I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand." The use of manipulatives is the key to enabling students to understand abstract mathematical concepts. With the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics' Standards (NCTM) serving as a model for what should be occurring in mathematics classrooms, manipulatives are now essential. Learning how to use manipulatives in the classroom, however is challenging. If the manipulatives are not presented in the correct manner, they may serve to confuse the student rather than enhance learning.
This essential workbook provides the teacher with a realistic approach to teaching addition and subtraction skills with manipulatives. Activities cover basic addition facts, addition properties, multi-digit addition, subtractions basics for educators (author's unique and effective subtraction method), basic subtraction skills, subtraction facts with minuends through 18, multi-digit subtraction and activities for addition and subtraction. Students will be actively engaged as they use unifix cubes, dominoes, dice, tiles, beans, chips, trading boards and a variety of skill building games and activities.
For the time-conscious teacher, this book is a must. Get ready for math to become a favorite subject!
