Abstract
Many elementary mathematics teachers believe that learning improves significantly when students are instructed with physical objects such as coins, called manipulatives. Unfortunately, teaching with manipulatives is a time consuming process that is best with personalized 1-to-1 tutoring. In this paper, we explore the research challenges and solutions of an automated physical and personal tutoring solution.
