What math manipulatives do we print?
Array Rods (100 pieces total)
Array Rods are a simple manipulative for students to learn about multiplication and division, including the different properties for multiplication. For example, the Distributive Property is illustrated in one of the attached pictures where students can easily manipulate 7x8 into different arrangments (7x1+7x7; 7x2+7x6; 7x3+7x5, etc.). This also helps students learn different ways to meaningfully memorize more difficult facts (i.e., realizing the 7s facts can be broken into 5s and 2s… 7x6 is 5x6 plus 2x6).

On Feb. 26, a unique event brought together a group of about 50 students, faculty and staff in the Schwebel Room on the third floor of the Kent Student Center for dinner and conversation. By design, the guests come from different areas of the university, and many might have not known each other before meeting at this event. They dined together and had focused discussions about topics of mutual, community interest. This is “Dinner with Friends,” a concept that began as a virtual event in 2021 at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, brought to life by Craig Berger, associate director ...
