Описание книги

Help students reveal the math behind the words Solving problems is about more than computation. Students must understand the mathematics of a situation to know what computation will lead to an appropriate solution. Mathematize It! shares a reasoning approach that helps students dig into the problem to uncover the underlying mathematics, deeply consider the problem’s context, and employ strong operation sense to solve it. This user-friendly resource for Grades 6–8 ·         Offers a systematic mathematizing process for solving word problems ·         Provides specific examples of questions and explorations for multiplication and division, fractions and decimals, as well as operations with rational numbers ·         Demonstrates the use of visual representations to model problems with dozens of short videos

Отрывок из книги

“Mathematize It! is a must have for every middle school teacher! The authors provide clear guidance and suggestions to help our students become effective problem solvers. The opportunities provided to ponder and practice, as well as the student sample work and videos, make this a resource you will grow professionally from and positively impact student learning. I wish I had this resource when I started teaching 25 years ago!”
