I have searched long and hard to answer this, and this is the best link I can find to answer the question http://www.academiccommons.org/library/pattern-recognition hope it helps.
Educational manipulatives are physical objects that help students learn mathematical and scientific concepts through hands-on exploration and interaction. These tools can include blocks, counters, shapes, and other materials that engage learners in active learning experiences, helping them develop a deeper understanding of abstract concepts. Educational manipulatives are often used in classrooms to enhance traditional teaching methods and cater to diverse learning styles.
The use of manipulatives and teachings aids is a very effective technique to reinforce learning tasks. Research has shown that due to the different ways that people learn having a multi-sensory approach to teaching a lesson is more effective than one method by itself.
Methods are important in teaching because they have been proven to work. The goal of a teacher is to help a student understand, and with methods teachers can cater to a students learning style.
Teaching and Learning are important elements in the curriculum such that both concepts are the end purpose why a curriculum is produced or formulated. Both of these concepts are what the teachers and students do while persuing the content of the curriculum.
Instructional materials can include textbooks, workbooks, handouts, digital resources, visual aids, manipulatives, multimedia presentations, and interactive simulations. These materials are designed to support teaching and learning by presenting information in various formats to engage students and enhance their understanding of the subject matter.

Math manipulatives can be very effective when teaching kids math. They work best when used in combination with the right curriculum. The manipulatives themselves are great, but to make learning successful you need to identify the learning style of the child you're teaching and present the curriculum in that manner. Manipulatives can be used with all accredited homeschooling curriculum such as; Saxon, Horizons, and Singapore math.
Fraction manipulatives are a teaching aid to help children (and older people) learn to work with fractions. They consist of objects which can be handled by the pupil (manipulated) to help them learn. Fraction bars, or discs which can be taken apart like slices of a pizza are two examples.
Math Manipulative are great teaching tools to help kids learn math principles such as counting, adding, multiplication, division and even telling time. There are plenty of math manipulatives sold online such as base ten blocks, base ten flats, geo-boards and many more, but perhaps one of the greatest things about math manipulatives is that they can be common household items like apples and bananas. The whole point of math manipulatives is to provide a fun visual learning aid. There is such an extensive list that it would be hard to list them all, but many educational math websites have pretty complete list of core math manipulatives for teachers.

Metacognition can be taught through educated teaching strategies. One of these strategies is to create activities based on the student's recognition of objects.

I must assume you are going into teaching and if so you need to answer this question. Your reasons for teaching are important for you to know and are founded on your teaching philosophy.
Because it is important :)
