You have just seen one application of representation in the classroom. Students are tackling this problem through working in groups and deciding on appropriate forms for representing their thinking and reasoning. Reflect on the questions below, and answer one in light of the students and content you teach.
Questions to write and reflect about:
- What can you do in your classroom to help students learn by using representations to help organize, record, and communicate their mathematical thinking?
- What are some of the advantages of having students use various forms of representation as they solve problems?
- How can you incorporate representation, along with the other process standards you've learned about (problem solving, communication, and reasoning and proof), into your daily teaching?
- How would you support student thinking in moving among various forms of representation?
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.
