The Lecture Hall Manipulative The lecture hall manipulative requires additional pre-use work. It also requires yarn to be drawn through the paper and for the yarn to be taped. Paper clips are optional. Steps 1 through 4 below must be completed before use in the lecture hall. To assemble the container: 1st: Make the desired number of copies of the template. 2nd: Cut out the net but keep it and the printing in the interior intact. 3rd: From the nonprinted side of the paper thread a length of yarn through the paper at point B using a thick needle. The yarn should be long enough to leave a tapeable length on the nonprinted side of the paper and to extend over the edge of the paper at the quartercircle centered at point C. Tape the yarn to the nonprinted side of the paper so that the yarn is held in place and the tape does not "cover" a dashed segment. 4th: [Optional] Clip two paper clips to each cut-threaded-taped sheet prior to distribution. 5th: Follow steps 3, 4, and 5 from the Classroom Model above. 6th: Once the box has been assembled, hold the yarn at point B so as to form the segment AB, the diagonal of the box, the distance between A and B.
