2. MANIPULATIVES
Manipulatives are physical tools of teaching, engaging
students visually and physically with objects such as coins,
blocks, puzzles, markers, etc. these physical tools are used as
teaching aids to engage students in the hands-on learning The
use of manipulatives is constructivist because students are
actively engaged in discovery during the learning
process.

3. ADVANTAGES OF USING

 Enhances student learning.
 Students feel capable and competent.
 Students will see real life application of
concepts.
 It teaches underlying values and skills
(critical thinking, creativity, problem

and supervision and may wear out
with age.

5. TYPES OF MANIPULATIVES
There are three types of manipulatives. They
are:
1. Models
2. Real Objects
3. Mock-ups

6. MODELS
A model is a three-dimensional representation of a
person or thing or of a proposed structure, typically
on a smaller scale than the original. A model can
come in many shapes, sizes, and styles. It is
important to emphasize that a model is not the real
world but merely a human construct to help us better
understand real world systems.

7. REAL OBJECTS
Real objects are material things that can be seen,
touched, are known and familiar to students. These
are objects that are especially appropriate for
learners who are encountering a subject of which
students can make some connection to their lives.
This form includes real life objects such as plants,
fruits, ice cream cones etc.

8. MOCK- UPS
Mock-ups are simplified representations of
complex devices. It clarify the complex. They
are sometimes constructed as working models
to illustrate the basic operations of a real device.
