Connecting Mathematical Ideas: Using Representations to Support Students' Reasoning

Description

In our classrooms students use manipulatives, drawings, number lines, and story contexts to solve math situations. Learn how to pose meaningful questions to support their reasoning and connections in mathematics through their representations. Visualize the process firsthand through samples of students' reasoning about their representations.
