Ideas on Manipulative Math for Young Children.
Murray, Anne
Young Children, v56 n4 p28-29 Jul 2001
Presents a case study of one kindergarten class in which the mathematics center is the popular area in the room. Focuses on how math is best understood if activities follow the five-C formula: collaborative, concrete, comprehensive, connecting, and cavorting. Describes how children used manipulatives to construct mathematics concepts independently. (KB)
