The Effect of Manipulatives on the Performance of Mathematical Problems in Elementary School Children

This e-book gives the reader information on research in mathematics, and how the use of Math Manipulatives can improve math performance. Differentiated learning is a way to modify the traditional curriculum in order to address the learning styles of other students. The book takes a look at mathematics education around the world, and compares it to math in the United States. An actual survey was given to math educators, and results are given in several tables throughout the book. Researchers, professors, parents, teachers in primary and secondary schools, as well as other educational institutions will enjoy the results of this mathematical research, and can come to realize the need for alternative ways to teach math.
