Virtual Manipulatives 5 - Spinner

The manipulative I chose to work with was the Spinner - found in Grades 3-5 Data Analysis and Probability. I chose this particular manipulative to use in one of my math centers related to graphing and probability. Students are able to work with spinners that have different colored sections. This is a perfect resource for differentiation as the students who are having difficulty with probability can work with smaller spinners/fewer colors, while the students who need enrichment or extension activities can use spinners with more colors and sections.
