Abstract: This study examined the potential of preservice special education teachers to design and create mathematical manipulatives to understand mathematical concepts. The authors sought to identify if the creation of manipulatives using a Cricut cutter would help preservice special education teachers understand the role of manipulatives in the classroom for all students. Preservice special education teachers were asked to design and create manipulatives on the Cricut: base ten pieces, algebra tiles, geometric nets, and ten frames. The authors used the Constant Comparison method to analyze data from 22 pre-service special education students from a large midwestern university in the United States. Preservice special education teachers expressed a new understanding of mathematics throughout their design process and saw the potential for using the manipulatives in their classrooms. Teacher educators used the designs that preservice teachers created to evaluate preservice teachers' understanding of mathematical concepts.
