Using Virtual Manipulatives to Transfer Volumes
Virtual manipulatives are a little new to the game so we're still finding out how they work and how they don't for me it's been a few years of experimenting with them. You can use two-sided counters as two-dimensional I mean a lot of my duties don't have two first thing ask parents is do you have a set of connect force because connect force basically are red and yellow and then there's just a few examples of things you can do very well with virtual manipulatives like making copies or grouping properties together. When I get them to factorize I find that actually the physical ones are better because they need to kind of jumble them around until they
