Product Description
Teaching (Math) With Manipulatives K-5 DVD, plus 184 Math Activities ON-Line by Sam Yulish PhD, is timeless. This work was originally made in 1994 as a VHS video, and it was used by over 100 colleges and universities in their math teacher training sessions. Schools all over the country have used this video, now a DVD, and some used it in teleconferencing. The DVD is not visually sharp, as it was made from the last video tape. So it looks ore like an old video than a DVD. Still, worth its weight in gold. Numerous manipulatives are presented, with over 15 different lessons on how to best use the manipulatives in elementary school settings. These lessons are clear and concise. Dr. Yulish has over 25 years teaching experience, with six of those years as a K-8 Math Teacher Trainer at Ohio State University in Newark, Ohio. He has conducted workshops for teachers through the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics and individual school systems, and has designed numerous teaching materials used by thousands of teachers. Lessons include base ten blocks, fraction bars, two-sided counters, the Invicta Balance, wooden cubes, geoboards, tangrams, pattern blocks, and more. There is nothing fancy here. Just plain language instuctions from an expert on how to best use manipulatives. Included with the DVD: 184 MATH PROBLEM SOLVING ACTIVITIES (GRADES K-8) Used by thousands of students. The lessons are in the following categories: GEOMETRY NUMBER BRAINSTORMS CONNECTIONS MEASUREMENT AND ESTIMATION GAMES PATTERNS AND ATTRIBUTES PROBABILITY AND STATISTICS
