Math manipulatives

Curlie tessillations, multi-coloured dice, geometric shapes for overhead projectors and transparent pentominoes are among the math manipulatives we've recently added to the collection.

Most students benefit from visual representations of concepts. Manipulatives can be used to increase exploration possibilities to develop concepts and test hypotheses for students at all levels of ability.

Ask any library staff member for access to the math manipulatives. They will be stored in the graphics lab and may be borrowed for 3 weeks at a time.
