I Get It! Using Manipulatives to Conquer Math: Measurement

Improve mathematical reasoning and understanding with the I Get It! series. This series appeals to a greater number of student learning styles by using different sets of mathematics manipulatives. These manipulatives create hand-on, active learning experiences. And, they make math enjoyable! Through free exploration and structured activities with concrete manipulatives, students will begin to adopt and model abstract mathematical concepts. Having students work with manipulatives provides teachers the opportunity to see what students are thinking and how they are processing the information.

Measurement
This program fosters conceptual understanding of measurement with concrete objects. It uses connecting links, rulers, and analog clocks to tangibly represent the mathematical concepts associated with linear measurement and time telling.
