Quane, Kate; Brown, Leni
Australian Primary Mathematics Classroom, v27 n1 p28-33 2022
Mathematics educators and researchers have advocated for the use of manipulatives to teach mathematics for decades. The purpose of this article is to provide illustrative uses of a readily available manipulative rather than a complete list. From an Australian perspective, Pop-it fidget toys can be used across the mathematics curriculum. This paper documents how two different size squircle Pop-it toys can be used as a mathematical manipulative.
