Welcome to our Educational Support Resources Lending Library.
Over the years, Lynwood Friends Church has been a hub for toddler playgroups, learning camps, and even hosting it’s own preschool. These adventures have enabled us to gather a nice collection of math manipulatives, literacy supports, and other early learning items. Our Lynwood Friends families have been able to borrow and utilize this wonderful collection and now we hope to extend that to you, our local friends and neighbors.
Why Use Manipulatives?
Does using manipulatives in early school years really enhance learning? By representing math concepts in different ways, manipulatives can help kids develop conceptual understanding of math concepts. Manipulatives can also encourage talking about math and explaining concept at hand. Using manipulatives encourages the oral communication of math ideas. Just as a picture is worth a thousand words, applying the use of math manipulatives in early school years can strengthen the math picture in the heads kids.
