Modeling Mathematical Ideas : Developing Strategic Competence in Elementary and Middle School

Omtale

Modeling Mathematical Ideas combines current research and practical strategies to build teachers and students strategic competence in problem solving. This informative book supports teachers in understanding learning progressions that address conceptual guiding posts, as well as students’ common misconceptions, in investigating and discussing important mathematical ideas related to number sense, computational fluency, algebraic thinking and proportional reasoning. In each chapter, the authors opens with a rich real-world mathematical problem and presents classroom strategies (such as visible thinking strategies & technology integration) and other related problems to develop students’ strategic competence in modeling mathematical ideas.
