Manipulatives are concrete objects that can be viewed and physically handled by kids in order to model abstract concepts. The use of manipulatives, like the counting bears provided, gives kids hands-on, active learning experience. Furthermore, utilization of manipulatives in mathematics education can support children’s understanding of numerous mathematical concepts.

Children can use the counting bars in math to address mathematical standards like:

• Sorting bear counters into group by colors
• Count by two or any other multiple
• Using the colors of the bears for patterns (see e-book activities)
• Practice addition and much more (see e-book activities)
