Traveling the road to better teaching with Candies Cook as we discuss her experience within a Summer Mathematics Institute where she was exposed to messy (open-ended, accessible, and cognitively demanding) mathematics tasks. Teacher's Journey: Mile Markers on the Road to Better Teaching is sponsored by the University of Mississippi School of Education (https://education.olemiss.edu/) and is an Amidon Planet (https://amidonplanet.com/) production.

Using Virtual Manipulatives to Engage Students in Mathematical Exploration and Discovery Presenter: David Poras Date: September 21, 2021 Manipulatives can transform how students make meaning of important ideas by making abstract relationships visible, by teaching creativity and problem-solving, and by allowing students to explore and discover. Learn how virtual manipulatives can mirror these effects and […]
Hey teachers! Are you tired of the struggle during math while you attempt to make it stick? What do you do when your at home learners don't have the manipulatives you so heavily relied on before? In today's episode, I give 3 different solutions to the manipulative dilemma. One site is linked below.

Welcome fellow Recovering Traditionalists to Episode 88. Today we are looking at Virtual versus Physical Manipulatives. With distance learning happening for so many right now, during a Build Math Minds Members Q & A session, a member asked if it’s okay to just have kids working with virtual manipulatives or if kids need the physical manipulatives to ensure they are working in the Concrete level. As I went digging into the research, I found that this is not a new concern. In 2016, Julie Sarama & Douglas Clements wrote a chapter in the book International Perspectives on Teaching and Learning Mathematics with Virtual Manipulatives that can shed some light on this concern that educators are having in 2021.

Yolanda Parker shares how she helps her students, including prospective mathematics teachers, get more comfortable with their mathematical identity and develop a relationship with mathematics. She advocates for the use of manipulative materials, and works to engage students in discussion to build their understanding. Yolanda is a Professor in the Mathematics Department at Tarrant County College, South Campus. In 2017, she was one of ten women selected by the National Society of Black Engineers DFW chapter for the "Hidden Figures of Dallas: Top Women of of Color in STEM" award.
