With any type of new learning, students need practice and application of newly acquired skills to ensure mastery of content concepts. Describe a hands-on activity and identify materials, including manipulatives that would enable students to forge connections between abstract concepts and concrete concepts in a less language-dependent way.

Manipulatives are physical objects that are used as teaching tools to engage students in the hands-on learning of mathematics. They can be used to introduce, practice, or remediate a concept. A manipulative may be as simple as grains of rice or as sophisticated as a model of our solar system. They may be store-bought, brought from home, or teacher- or student-made. They can be used in all areas of math instruction-teaching number and operations, algebra, geometry, measurement, and so on-and across all grade levels.
