TSBVI Coffee Hour: Making Connections- Base-10 Manipulatives & the Cranmer Abacus

12/7/2020 John Rose, TSBVI. Most elementary students benefit from instruction using real objects (manipulatives) alongside abacus instruction, and students with visual impairments may benefit from these materials on a more consistent basis. Base-10 manipulatives can be used to directly transfer place value, counting, and operations concepts to the abacus. This presentation will demonstrate these strategies using base-10 blocks, an APH work-play tray, and the Cranmer abacus. Click the Attachment button to download a transcript and/or handout.
