TMST: Toy Theater Virtual Manipulatives
I recently came across a tweet that was talking about a great site for virtual manipulatives and more. Toy Theater has been so much fun to test out and explore, I just had to share it with you! http://toytheater.com/category/teacher-tools/virtual-manipulatives/ I love the way these work on our Vivitek boards and iPads*. Learners can easily drag and manipulate different math concepts. Fraction Tiles on the Vivitek Board! Some of my favorites: the number charts that let you color code and seek patterns in the numbers fraction tiles that can be adjusted and compared a perimeter and area grid that helps learners calculate and visualize 2 color counters and ten frames, rekenreks and pattern blocks galore The possibilities for classroom use seem endless. I could see learners working with the site on their iPads, taking a screenshot and then using markup, Notability or Seesaw to annotate and explain their thinking....
