Abstract

The Making Numbers research Project, funded by the Nuffield Foundation, has developed guidance for teachers of 3 to 9 year olds on the use of manipulatives in the teaching of arithmetic. The project, which consisted of a literature review, survey of teacher use and small-scale teaching investigations,identified key principles and issues for the use of manipulatives. This paper gives a brief overview of project findings, which are reported elsewhere, and discusses issues relating to the early years from the literature review.
