Manipulative's in Mathematics

Manipulative are important to use in the classroom when it comes to teaching mathematics. The following link will take you to a article that talks about the important reasons to implement manipulatives into the classroom.  It talks about different manipulatives that as a teacher you can use in your classroom and how you can implement them into lessons.  I will use as many manipulatives that I can into my classroom because I feel that it is important for students to learn from a hands on approach because it is easier for students to visualize what they are learning with 3d objects rather than just writing stuff down on a piece of paper.
