Teachers have to make decisions everyday- about what material to cover, what activities to plan, how those activities will be assessed- and good teachers make pedagogically based decisions. In math classrooms, abstract content can, at times, be seemingly inaccessible to some students. By including hands-on manipulatives into the classroom, students can kinetically explore content to help bridge their understanding. These manipulatives can be incorporated in a variety of ways depending on the intended purpose. Using an example of a movable integral model, some of those possibilities for activities will be shown and explained.
