Direct linkBouck, Emily; Flanagan, Sara; Bouck, Mary – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 2015
Manipulatives are considered a best practice for educating students with disabilities, but little research exists which examines virtual manipulatives as tool for supporting students in mathematics. This project investigated the use of a virtual manipulative through the National Library of Virtual Manipulatives--polynominoes (i.e., tiles)--as a…

Mendiburo, Maria; Hasselbring, Ted – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 2014
This study examines the relative instructional efficiency of virtual and physical fraction manipulatives. More specifically, this study uses a randomized experiment to determine if differences in students' knowledge of fractions magnitude exist when students use virtual rather than physical manipulatives to learn basic fraction concepts.…

Hensberry, Karina K. R.; Moore, Emily B.; Perkins, Katherine K. – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 2015
Computer technology, when coupled with reform-based teaching practices, has been shown to be an effective way to support student learning of mathematics. The quality of the technology itself, as well as how it is used, impacts how much students learn. Interactive simulations are dynamic virtual environments similar to virtual manipulatives that…

Bolyard, Johnna; Moyer-Packenham, Patricia – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 2012
This study investigated how the use of virtual manipulatives in integer instruction impacts student achievement for integer addition and subtraction. Of particular interest was the influence of using virtual manipulatives on students' ability to create and translate among representations for integer computation. The research employed a…

Namukasa, Immacukate K.; Stanley, Darren; Tuchtie, Martin – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 2009
With the increased use of computer manipulatives in teaching there is need for theoretical discussions on the role of manipulatives. This paper reviews theoretical rationales for using manipulatives and illustrates how earlier distinctions of manipulative materials are broadened to include new forms of materials such as virtual manipulatives.…

Peer reviewedAinsa, Trisha – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1999
Pilots and evaluates a math activity initially utilizing M&Ms as manipulatives, then progressing to computer software math activities, in five early childhood classrooms. Concludes that there were no significant differences between learning tasks, monolingual students vs. bilingual students, and manipulative (hands-off) activities vs. computer…
