Virtual Manipulatives

After visiting the virtual manipulatives I was really impressed with the options avialable for the various grade levels. I tested the How High manipulative for grade levels 6-8. I really enjoyed predicting the level of liquid from one tank to the other tank and I can definately see my students enjoying this as well. It also provided five different visual comparisons. rectangular to rectangular, cylinder to cylinder, cone to tank an cone to cone. I was also impressed with the ability to reset a problem or create a new problem. This feature will keep the interest of the student and allow them to practice a variety of problems.
