zenjenn Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 It's hard to say, because my child refuses to tolerate more than about 10 seconds of explanation from me, with or without manipulatives. On the rare occasion she asks a question about math, I will start to explain it and after about 10-20 seconds of me talking she says "OH! Ok. I get it now. We're done. Leave me alone now!" She DID like using manipulatives very VERY early on - like a number line and counters - prior to knowing her facts and mental math tricks. Now she doesn't really want anything of any sort that will slow her down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
