In mathematics education, a manipulative is an object which is designed so that a learner can perceive some mathematical concept by manipulating it, hence its name. The use of manipulatives provides a way for children to learn concepts through developmentally appropriate hands-on experience.
Virtual manipulatives for mathematics are digital representations of physical mathematics manipulatives used in classrooms. [1] The goal of this technology is to allow learners to investigate, explore and derive mathematical concepts using concrete models.

Plastic Pattern Blocks. Pattern Blocks are a set of mathematical manipulatives developed in the 1960s. The six shapes are both a play resource and a tool for learning in mathematics, which serve to develop spatial reasoning skills that are fundamental to the learning of mathematics.
Wooden Dienes blocks in units of 1, 10, 100 and 1000 Plastic Dienes blocks in use. Base ten blocks, also known as Dienes blocks after popularizer Zoltán Dienes (Hungarian: [ˈdijɛnɛʃ]), are a mathematical manipulative used by students to practice counting and elementary arithmetic and develop number sense in the context of the decimal place-value system as a more concrete and direct ...
Algebra tiles, also known as Algetiles, or Variable Blocks, are mathematical manipulatives that allow students to better understand ways of algebraic thinking and the concepts of algebra. These tiles have proven to provide concrete models for elementary school, middle school, high school, and college-level introductory algebra students.
Manipulatives allow students to explore mathematical concepts by working with physical objects, linking their discoveries to abstractions. Although manipulatives are primarily used to illustrate modern elementary mathematics , educators use objects to represent abstract topics taught in high school, college and beyond. [ 7 ]
