In the Math-U-See world, the manipulatives ARE critical to successful instruction—but parents often miss how to capitalize on them. Join us for a conversation about how to get the best out of your Math-U-See experience.
Resources Mentioned in the Webinar
Math Manipulatives Aren’t Just for “Little Kids”
How to Use the Math-U-See Manipulatives
From Math Manipulatives to Mastery
Here is the link to the Grey Carson interview mentioned in the live session. This is a Math-U-See student, who obtained her Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics at the age of 19.
We had an in-depth discussion about using the fraction overlays.
Further, sometimes difficulty with word problems is solely due to not understanding the underlying concepts, and that’s the first reason to use manipulatives. They give such a strong understanding of those concepts. Second, there are word problem tips in the Instruction Manual, as well as some additional word problems available there after four of the lessons. Check the index in the back of the Instruction Manual for those word problems and tips.
