We as a fifth grade are asking for math and science manipulatives for our school. We will use them to enrich our students' math learning. We are specifically using these materials for fractions and decimals which are the big things we learn in fifth grade. We are trying to build their concrete understanding so we can build up their conceptual understanding as well. We are planning to use fraction bars and circles to help them physically manipulate fraction concepts. For science we want to get hands-on electrical circuit kits to help our students explore electricity and make connections between electricity and magnetism properties.
