We've just observed a problem with a focus on representation. Now we'd like you to write about your own classroom practice. As you make your journal entry, use the material you've just seen and read as a context.
Questions to write and reflect about:
- How do representations help students clarify their thinking and begin to identify connections with other mathematical ideas?
- How does this task enable students to see the importance of representing their ideas in order to communicate their understanding?
- Once students have completed a task, what questions might you ask to help extend their thinking to other mathematical ideas?
Three ways to write and reflect:
- Use pen and paper.
- Use a word processor.
- Use the form below.
Be sure to save what you have written before you navigate out of the journal section.
Thanks for writing in your journal. Please keep your entries in whatever format you choose -- you will find them useful for reference later.
