Description: Digital manipulatives can make mathematical ideas visible—but which tools are worth using, and what might students actually notice? In this self-paced playground, teachers will explore quick, no-login digital manipulatives organized by mathematical strand, moving through an explore, test, synthesize rhythm. Along the way, teachers will capture their own noticings, anticipate what students might notice or wonder, and uncover connections across courses and grade levels. Teachers will leave with a collection of ready-to-use tools and ideas for making mathematics more visual, interactive, and connected.
