report

2. refers to items or tools that students
and teachers use to support hands-
on learning and provide visible
models that help students solve
problems and develop concepts. It
can be manipulated to increase their
understanding and come to accurate
conclusions.

3. Salamis tablet
750 BC
Suánpán
221 BC
Quipu
1438-1538

4.  Late 1800’s – invention of first manipulative
objects that appeals to several senses and is
specifically used to teach mathematical
concepts

5.  Rosseau (1712-1778) – learning through
senses
 Pestalozzi (1746-1827) – “Learning by Head,
Heart and Hand”
 Fröbel (1782-1852) – “Gifts”
 Piaget (1896 – 1980) – concrete operations
formal operations
 Montessori (1900) - “learn through personal
investigation and
exploration”

6.  1989- National Council of Teachers of
Mathematics affirmed the usefulness and
effectiveness of using manipulatives in
teaching Math in public classrooms. (Ivanov,
2007)
 1998- Use of virtual manipulatives

7. • Traditional
• Virtual/Digital

8. Tower of Hanoi
Rubik’s Cube
Letter/Number Blocks

9. Advantages
 Simpler, more moveable
 Tactile experience adds a dimension
of learning
 Allows student to be more creative
selecting pieces
 Student has more control
 Process is traceable
 Allows trial and error
 Units are easier to distinguish, make
the whole easier to see
 Easier to relate to real-world
applications
 Less expensive than technology
 Allows me to be more cognitive of the
operations I am performing
 Requires more thinking
 I was able to think about what it
actually means to multiply and divide
fractions
 Allows teacher to involve the whole
class in an interactive lesson
 Allow information to be received
visually and kinesthetically
Disadvantages
 Limited in the fractions that can be used
(i.e., you have only a few denominators)
 Can’t actually see the numbers on the
manipulative so you may miss the concept
 Requires internal affirmation rather than
external
 No feedback on whether you are right or
wrong
 Not very challenging
 Doesn’t allow you to add or subtract
fractions in your head (Math)

10.  IT-based manipulatives which are
supplement and/or replacement for hands-on
"concrete" manipulatives.
 "computer-based simulations of physical
manipulatives that are accessed via the
Internet or computer software." (Boucky &
Flanagan)
 Static vs. Dynamic

11. Music Simulator Hangaroo
E-Books

12. Advantages
 Immediate feedback—you know
when it’s right or wrong
 Easier to maneuver and keep
together
 A lot quicker to grasp the concept
 Offer a larger variety of
experiences
 Allow more complex operations
to be learned
 Catches the attention of the
“technology generation”; would
keep students’ attention
 More accessible at home than
the concrete ones
 Often provides explicit
connections between visual and
symbolic representations
Disadvantages
 Could be addicting
 Can’t actually touch (simulations,
video games, etc.)
 Models for some content not yet
available
 More suitable for use after a
student who’s already
 Often needs Internet connection
 May limit the teacher’s ability to
follow the students’ thought
processes
 Might feel like “do” vs.
“learn/explore”

13. • Math
• Science
• English
• Music
• Social Science

14. • Serves as the channel of information to
people
• Those who sends/create information and
messages through different channels of
communication: traditional media and
new media
• People as media
• People in media

15.  People in Media
› Print people: authors, painters, artists
› Web people: bloggers
› TV people: TV reporters, actors/actresses,
singers, dancers
› Radio people: DJ, singer
› Print People: Print-Ad models
› Others: politicians, public workers,
priest/nuns/pastors

16.  Primary source of knowledge/information
(ex. Google, wikipedia)
 Students learn from each other through
group activities and discussions
 Latest trends and figures from TV, Radio,
etc.
 Politicians dictates how students learn (K -
