In elementary mathematics education, the integration of interactive methods has emerged as a promising approach to engage students, foster deeper understanding, and promote lifelong mathematical proficiency. This article reviews the current landscape of interactive methods utilized in elementary mathematics classrooms, highlighting their benefits and challenges. Drawing upon empirical research and educational theory, it explores various interactive strategies such as manipulatives, games, digital tools, and collaborative activities. Additionally, it examines the impact of these methods on student learning outcomes and offers recommendations for effective implementation in elementary mathematics instruction.
