This Web site provides a library of interactive, Web-based virtual manipulatives or concept tutorials, mostly in the form of Java applets, for mathematics instruction (Kindergarten to Grade 12 emphasis). The resources are organized into the following topics: Number and Operations; Algebra; Geometry; Measurement; and Data Analysis and Probability.
In this video, a teacher uses dot plates as a strategy to assist children to subitize and name familiar arrangements of 1-5 dots. Children compare quantities and express a given number in two parts using fingers and dots. The teacher reflects on the lesson and provides strategies for teaching these concepts.
