I am interested in the use of manipulatives in the adult ed math classroom.  How are manipulatives used?  How do you introduce manipulatives to adults?  Do you use manipulatives in an individualized setting?  What are your favorite manipulatives?  
Thanks,

Colleagues,

Some of you have emailed me that you have been eagerly awaiting the

or to the list today.
