Preservice Teachers’ Interactions With Geometric Manipulatives: An Exploratory Study

• In Event: Poster Session

Description for Program

We report an interview study that investigates how preservice K-8 teachers use dynamic diagrams to explore multiplication and division. Our project reconnects arithmetic to its geometric roots and taps students' visual literacies to aid their mathematical exploration and sense-making.
