See It, Say It, Symbolize It

Reimagining elementary mathematics pedagogy using a three-step process-See It, Say It, Symbolize It-author Patrick L. Sullivan provides a guide for developing a dynamic and flexible understanding of numbers and operations. By helping students develop a language that is consistent across concepts and connecting it to what is seen and symbolized, teachers empower their students to engage in reasoning they will utilize throughout their lives. This book will help K 5 educators:Apply the See It, Say It, Symbolize It framework to foundational mathematical concepts and operationsReframe common mathematical language to increase students conceptual understanding and make connections between ideas that are often seen as disconnectedCompare the traditional process of communicating foundational mathematical ideas to the See It, Say It, Symbolize It process, with descriptive examplesComprehend the superpower understandings in elementary mathematics, which help students develop a dynamic and flexible understanding of numbers and operations as well as connect multiple conceptsInternalize chapter content with reflection prompts and end-of-chapter application guidesContents:Introduction: How Did I Get Here?Chapter 1: Early Number ConceptsChapter 2: Same Numeral, Different MeaningsChapter 3: Fractions The F Word of Elementary MathematicsChapter 4: AdditionChapter 5: SubtractionChapter 6: MultiplicationChapter 7: DivisionChapter 8: Ratios, Proportions, and Percentages, Oh My!Final ThoughtsGlossaryReferences and ResourcesIndex
