In constructivist learning, hands-on activities using manipulatives stimulate problem solving. When children base their approach to a problem on previous knowledge they are better able to analyze it and find their own solution resulting in deeper understanding. There is no right or wrong way to approach a problem, so students find solutions that make sense to them.

Note: The meaning of the word "pimp" used in the title is not to be taken in its literal sense.  The slang verb "to pimp" has been popularized by the TV show "Pimp my Ride", where pimping a car is, according to wikipedia.org, to "take a car that is old, unfashionable, falling apart, or some combination thereof, and restore it".
