Take a look at this video above. Fran Dickinson does a good job explaining how beneficial manipulatives can be. Manipulatives can be used to break down a whole and see the little parts that make it up.
Dickinson taught his lesson in a very confident format, which helped his students have confidence. Fractions are a topic that most people like to run from, including teachers. When we have this aura about us on a certain topic students can sense it. We need to be comfortable with teaching this category so that we can exude that comfort onto the students.

Why Use Manipulatives?
Why should we have kids use manipulatives?
We do this because it allows students to VISUALIZE a problem and see multiple ways that the problem can be solved. If a student is confused about how fractions work, manipulatives break down the fraction so that they can see all the parts. Fractions are part of a whole, manipulatives can show students all the part that make it up.
