My special education students struggle with many mathematical concepts. Manipulatives give these students hands on access to their learning. They can visually see the math happening in front of them in a concrete manner instead of having to attempt to visualize the concept. The students can build the numbers with the base 10 blocks, and physically see the addition and subtraction going on, along with regrouping (which is an extremely difficult concept for my special education students). The fraction manipulatives allow the students to visually see the differences between the different fractions represented. Additionally, if students regularly use the manipulatives in the classroom, they will be allowed to use them for state testing as well.
