Tips for Teachers


This lesson introduces students to the idea of defending or explaining their mathematical thinking. As this is early in the school year not all students are expected to be able to provide written explanations of their thinking. The focus for this stage in the year should be clarity in mathematical drawing representations, arithmetic representations, and verbal responses.
