Cover Story: The integration of virtual manipulatives in classroom practices facilitates student learning processes. We present a learning scenario that integrates the use of virtual manipulatives in mathematical modeling tasks. It was designed and implemented during initial teacher training, with the aim of helping a group of first-year elementary school students to overcome difficulties identified in their comprehension of the meaning of subtraction. Our results suggest that differentiated instruction, minimal guidance, and scaffolding played an important role in the support provided by the pre-service teacher to students in the mathematical modeling activities that integrated virtual manipulatives. View this paper
