Manipulatives Worksheets
Manipulatives are physical tools that play a crucial role in developing conceptual understanding of maths topics, helping to link concrete representations to abstract mathematical concepts. At Cazoom, we incorporate a wide variety of manipulatives to enhance learning, including number frames, base 10 blocks, place value counters, ten frames, algebra tiles, and directed counters. These tools are instrumental in helping students grasp fundamental mathematical ideas through hands-on experience, promoting deeper understanding and retention.
At KS1, number frames can be grouped to make sense of addition and subtraction. These alongside ten frames, are perfect when working with number bonds. Place value counters and base 10 blocks demonstrate how numbers are composed and can be used when regrouping during calculations. Directed counters and algebra tiles will be used with students in year 6 right through to KS4. Directed number counters are helpful in building confidence when working with negative and positive integers. Algebra tiles are used to teach abstract algebraic concepts in a tangible way and are an excellent tool for manipulation of algebraic expressions such as expanding brackets.
New worksheets and activities incorporating these manipulatives are added regularly, ensuring there’s always something fresh to boost your students’ understanding.
