Virtual+Math+Manipulatives

=PETE&C= =**Virtual Manipulatives for Mathematics Instruction**= **I.** **Big Idea** Visual tools in mathematics foster deep understanding

**II.** **The case for virtual manipulatives - Common Core Litmus Test** 1. Make sense of problems :Find an entry point into the question, Represent using pictures and diagrams 2. Reason abstractly and Represent problems abstractly 3. Construct viable arguments and critique reasoning, use visual models to prove or critique 4. Model with Mathematics: use, graphs, flowcharts 5. Use tools appropriately, know when to use which tools 6. Attend to precision: Label units, calculate accurately 7. Recognize and use structures, patterns: Use drawings, tables, number lines 8. Express regularity in repeated reasoning: Use graphs to evaluate formulas and predict values
