Early Childhood Math: Make It Manipulative!
Stone, Janet I.
Young Children, v42 n6 p16-23 Sep 1987
Maintains that early childhood teachers should provide young children with creative, stimulating, and manipulative (hands-on) experiences rather than workbook pages in early mathematics programs. Presents reasons and corresponding counterpositions for using workbooks and suggests sample activities which teachers can use to make mathematics more manipulative for young children. (BB)
