children to make connections, identify patterns, and grasp the underlying principles that govern

various mathematical operations. By working with manipulatives, children gain a deeper under-
standing of the relationship between numbers, shapes, and quantities, thereby enhancing their
ability to solve complex problems.

The Thinking and Working Mathematically approach also emphasizes the importance of col-
laborative learning and effective communication. Children are encouraged to work together in
groups, discussing their thought processes and justifying their reasoning. This collaborative envi-
ronment not only fosters teamwork and social skills but also enhances children’s ability to com-

municate their mathematical thinking clearly and coherently.
