Recommended Math Manipulatives

Using math worksheets is great for learning but don’t forget to add in other learning items as well. Some kids may learn better with their hands by using objects to enforce their learning. These are great for adding and subtracting.

It’s so important to remember that kids learn differently. Some kids learn by working solely on worksheets, some kids learn by repetition while others learn by using their hands and counting or moving objects.

Part of catering to your child’s learning capabilities is trying out all different types of learning. Using items like the ones below can help you find the best way for your child to work on their math skills.
