A mathematics manipulative is any physical object or material that can be used in a hands-on manner to assist students in developing mathematical understanding and solving problems. Learning is achieved through linking the manipulative to the mathematics being taught and highlighting the appropriate language. Advances in technology have meant that virtual manipulatives are now available, however educationalists believe children require physical, tactile experiences as well as virtual experiences.
