Notes
This
study
investigated
the
effectiveness
of
virtual
manipulatives
versus
concrete
manipulatives
on
third
grade
students’
understanding
of
mathematical
concepts
. The
participants
in this
study
were
40
third
grade
students
who
attended
the
same
school
.
Over
the
two
month
course
of this
study
,
students
received
instruction
on
three
different
mathematics
units
,
which
included
subtracting
2-
and
3-digit
numbers
,
analyzing
3-D
shapes
, and
exploring
fraction
relationships
. They were
divided
into
two
treatment
groups
. The
experimental
group
consisted
of
20
students
in
one
classroom
who
received
instruction
on
mathematical
concepts
with the
use
of
virtual
manipulatives
while
the
control
group
consisted
of
20
students
in a
second
classroom
who
received
instruction
on the
same
mathematical
concepts
with the
use
of
concrete
manipulatives
.
Data
sources
included
a
pretest
that was
given
to
both
the
experimental
and
control
groups
to
measure
their
prior
knowledge
of the
mathematical
concepts
that were
covered
over
the
course
of the
study
before
they
received
further
instruction
on those
mathematical
concepts
and the
use
of
manipulatives
.
Students
in
both
groups
took
the
same
posttest
at the
end
of
each
unit
on the
mathematical
concepts
that were
taught
with the
use
of
either
virtual
or
concrete
manipulatives
. The
pretest
showed
that
both
classes
were
statistically
similar
.
When
comparing
the
results
of the
posttests
on
subtracting
2-
and
3-digit
numbers
and
fraction
relationships
the
experimental
group
showed
no
statistically
significant
difference
from the
control
group
. The
experimental
group
did
show
a
statistically
significant
difference
when
comparing
the
results
of the
posttest
on
analyzing
3-D
shapes
. These
