K-6: manipulatives extend learning beyond content areas to vital lifelong skills As students work diligently on their learning in content areas, they can work with manipulatives to learn vital skills in developing collaborative language, listening and learning from peers, and experimenting with concepts in tactile ways. If students are given manipulatives to work with, they can enhance their learning and delve deeper into understanding key concepts as they concurrently develop vital life skills which will serve them well in middle school and beyond. Working with versatile products, students can learn the skills of creative problem solving in groups, create problems to share with peers (student becomes teacher), and develop multiple solutions to challenges. intooba construction kits for math/engineering/STEAM facilitate hands-on collaborative work with manipulatives, and they:
  In effective teaching, we look for students to investigate topics for themselves, and to work collaboratively in pairs and groups. Using intooba constructions kits, students can learn: skills in effective collaboration such as giving accurate descriptions, following and providing directions, meeting goals within set parameters, creatively solving challenges, and listening with intent. In this image, students collaboratively constructed a rocketship!
Our kits are very easy to use, and we have extensive manuals in math and engineering K-6.
