Number Sense Kickstart Day #5 - Are the Math Visuals You're Using Actually Helpful?


Listen Later

It’s Day 5 of the Number Sense Kickstart and we're focusing on the power of visuals in elementary math education. Just like in reading, where creating mental images enhances comprehension, visuals are essential in math to deepen students' understanding of numbers and mathematical operations.  However, sometimes the visuals that are in math textbooks and worksheets you download off the internet don’t actually help students understand the math.

In today’s training we look at ensuring that visuals you use in elementary math lessons help students make sense of the mathematics.  There are lots of cases where the visuals being used in the lesson are more of a distraction than helping your students make sense of the math.  

Get access to the Math Visuals Decision Tree and the Google Slides of Math Visuals when you register for the Kickstart here: BuildMathMinds.com/10Day-kickstart
