Manipulatives Aren’t Just for Elementary: Supporting Access to Secondary Mathematics

Tuesday July 14, 2026 10:40am - 12:00pm PDT

When students can see, touch, and model mathematical ideas, abstract concepts become more accessible. In this session, educators will explore how manipulatives can support sensemaking in secondary mathematics and help students engage more deeply with important content. Participants will leave with practical examples for using manipulatives to expand access and support understanding in secondary math classrooms.
