Web Resources The TODOS website has resources available for members. One of these is the Biblioteca National de Manipuladores Virtuales. This is the Spanish equivalent of the National Library of Virtual Manipulatives (NLVM) from Utah State University. Together they are a library of interactive, web-based virtual manipulatives or concept tutorials, mostly in the form of Java applets, for mathematics instruction (K-12 emphasis). On any page of the website, users can easily switch between English and Spanish by using a drop-down menu. Another resource is Family Math This program, available in English and Spanish, recognizes the importance of parents in the education of their children. For both resources visit – Resources |
