A Mathematical Tool: No theory, just a take away!


Mathematical Practice #5: Use appropriate tools strategically.

Not only do mathematically proficient students consider the available tools when solving a mathematical problem, but mathematically proficient teachers need to consider the available tools when building and supporting student understanding of mathematical concepts. The key word here is available!

Sometimes you need quick access to a copy of a simple tens frame, fraction strip, number line, or hundreds chart. And you never need it when you are on that page in the EngageNY manual. You need it way before for pre-teaching or long after for reteach and review, yet you have no idea where to go back and look for it, right?

Whether you teach KinderBridge or 8th grade, there is a mathematical tool here for you to take away and use tomorrow. Click on the link to see what's available.  http://lrt.ednet.ns.ca/PD/BLM/table_of_contents.htm  Offered in a downloadable word document format, you can manipulate these to your needs and likings. I guarantee you will want to bookmark this page in your browser!
