Why use materials that are cut and manipulated?
Written by Dianne
- Children love these materials and are much more excited about using them.
- Children's ability to reason usually precedes their ability or inclination to write. Therefore concepts can be presented at an earlier age in more enjoyable formats.
- Manipulative cardstock is less threatening than written work. Incorrect answers can merely be rearranged; writing, erasing and correcting is much more frustrating.
