Students will be using manipulatives to help them make visual sense of the math that they're doing so that when the time comes to think more conceptually and abstractly, students will have a pretty good idea about how they are thinking about the problems.
For example, students will be using algebra tiles for the first few months to make sense of algebraic expressions.
I also recognize that students sometimes have a difficult time understanding and visualizing fractions. So the fraction tiles will help me demonstrate to them how we are using fractions in our work.
