A
gold mine of a site- virtual manipulatives for math online
K-12. So many
applets to practice math concepts in all the outcome areas. This site allows
the computer in the classroom to be used as a math center and would also work
well in the computer lab. There are pattern block applets, tangram applets,
base ten block applets, number line applets and the pattern bead applets just
to mention a few. There are teacher instructions and lesson ideas that come
with them.
