Using math manipulatives with a second grader

But young lady, do you realize that there

are many miles of beach and thousands of
starfish? You cannot possibly make a
difference. The young woman listened
politely, then bent down, picked up another
starfish and threw it into the sea. It made
a difference for that one.
