Manipulatives for 140
We will be using our manipulatives from the Math Learning Centre
(our classroom). Here are some options for your own personal
use both as a student and a teacher. These are the
manipulatives you will need in this course. You can buy pretty
ones, you can print your own and cut them out, or you can use
virtual manipulatives online. Somehow you will need to have
access to them as you will need to use them in your
explanations.

Other resources
This looks great.
Will someone please tell me if they can get any of it to work?
This also
looks great, but seems impossible to pay for.
