Side-by-Side Model for students sharing their mathematical thinking. Math Icons represent the Math Practices used by the students to solve the problem. Connections are made by students comparing and contrasting the models. Student thinking is made visible through the discussion and by linking the various methods. This approach deepens the understanding of ALL students.
Making Connections by Sharing Out Multiple Strategies for Solving Problems.
Educators engaged in the Mathematical Practices to solve complex problems: using tools, explaining their thinking, and creating patterns to discover the structure of the Base Three System in order to solve the problem.
