Sorry I am no help but I had to sit there and think 'What the heck is a math manipulative?'
I am NOT smarter than a 5th grader.

Cubes are good, I have a game, money bingo so that takes care of coins, I have no idea why this is so difficult!

Is it a lesson? I just did a lesson with my kids using Mand M's. They sorted them, tallied and then graphed the data. Does this help?
