AI-generated based on their snips

1. The use of manipulatives in math instruction should follow a developmental approach, starting with simple manipulatives and eventually moving towards abstract mental representations.
2. Research consistently shows that there are more gender similarities in math abilities than differences, with girls consistently outperforming boys in reading.
3. Everyone has the capability to learn and understand mathematics, and the same approach and importance given to learning to read should be extended to learning math.
