Activity #1

After exploring virtual manipulatives,  I found that an electric abacus appears in more then one of the grade levels. It is supported by Utah and Utah state university. This virtual manipulative can be integrated into a classroom to enhance student learning. This can be done individually, with small groups, or as a whole class activity. This could be for students with disabilities or just for students who learn best by visually seeing it and then being able to use kinetically to move the abacus. The abacus below is a standard one that could be used in schools for students who qualify for needing one.
