You have just seen one application of representation in an early elementary classroom: the representations students use to record the outcome of their draws, which guide and support their predictions and conclusions. Now reflect on the following questions, 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 representations, along with the other Process Standards (Problem Solving, Communication, Reasoning and Proof), into your daily teaching?
- How can 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.
Thank you for writing in your journal. Please keep your entries in whatever format you choose -- you will find them useful for reference later.
