materials that the students can use to have a hands-on experience regarding the lesson. Digital
Manipulatives are computationally enhanced versions of physical objects, created in an effort to
expand the range of concepts that children can explore through direct manipulation. (Patten et al,
as cited in Zuckerman et al 2005) They contain embed computational and communication
hardware inside physical objects. (Resnick, et al cited in Britez 2009)
