Exploring the Value of Manipulatives in Early Math Education

Episode 155: Join us for this special episode of "Thinking Deeply about Primary Education" as we continue on a fascinating journey into the world of early math research and pedagogy. In this in-depth analysis, we delve into the 2023 paper "Research and Pedagogies for Early Math" by esteemed researchers, Douglas Clements, Renee Lizcano and Julie Sarama.

What does the research say about the use of manipulatives in the early mathematics classroom? What role does practice play and what form should it take? We discuss each of these questions and much, much more.

Whether you're an educator, a student, or simply curious about the fascinating intersection of research, pedagogy and early mathematics, this episode promises to be a thought-provoking and enlightening experience.
