We've just observed a problem that involves counting and estimating. Now we'd like you to write about your own classroom practice. Read the questions below and answer one in light of the content and students you teach. As you make your journal entry, use the material you've just seen and read as a context.
Questions to write and reflect about:
- Why is representation an important process to include when teaching mathematics to young children?
- How can you make student representation an integral part of mathematics instruction in your class? Be specific.
- Think of the mathematics curriculum for your grade level, and choose one content strand. How can you include student representations in that strand? Give some examples.
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.
