There are also many apps and games to help foster math
concepts, skills, and problem solving strategies for students with
disabilities.
First things, first…do you want to use a concrete
manipulative or a virtual manipulative?
This question should revolve around your student in mind, and what their
needs and goals are. The ones I’m
going to focus on today are virtual manipulatives and other virtual
applications to incorporate in your classroom.
