Classroom Manipulatives System (CMS)

This tool equips you, the classroom teacher, with a powerful set of manipulatives, instructional strategies, and digital tools. These are designed to work alongside your existing math curriculum to visually demonstrate the “why” behind each math concept.

Schools love CMS because it:

  • Is flexible enough to work in a variety of educational environments and classroom styles
  • Is compatible with existing math curriculums to supplement content and improve learning
  • Provides clear video instruction, organized according to educational standards, delivered in an easy-to-use digital license
  • Includes a simple, yet powerful, set of manipulatives used consistently across grade levels
  • Includes video-based product training and support so teachers can confidently implement new classroom strategies

Using CMS in Your Classroom

Lesson Preparation

A CMS digital license provides access to resources that help you implement lessons in classrooms. Begin by choosing the standard or concept which you are currently working on with students. Videos and instruction materials provide information about the concept and how to demonstrate this concept with the manipulatives. Instruction Manual PDF pages provide references and additional examples for demonstrating concepts.

Presenting the Concept

Demonstrate the concept to your students using the manipulatives. You should work with your students and use the manipulatives and the Build, Write, Say method until students fully understand the concept.

A preview teacher license will give you access to the lesson videos and instructor PDF. It’s a great way to see how the Classroom Manipulatives System can work for your classroom.

The kids really enjoy it. As teachers, we love it because of the emphasis on problem-solving and applying concepts through word problems with every lesson and the cumulative review. We are sold on the product, so you will continue to get orders from us! – Edith Bailey, Barclay School, SC
