E-raamat: See It, Say It, Symbolize It: Teaching the Big Ideas in Elementary Mathematics (Develop a flexible and dynamic understanding of numbers and operations in young learners.)

"How educators teach mathematics hasn't changed much in the last fifty years-and yet, the world students live in today has widely different resources and demands. In See It, Say It, Symbolize It: Teaching the Big Ideas in Elementary Mathematics, Patrick L. Sullivan revisits standard mathematical pedagogy with his three-step See It, Say It, Symbolize It process, which encourages students' deep comprehension beyond simple mathematical operations. With common mathematical language reframed and strategicallyapplied, elementary learners will be capable of more complex mathematical reasoning and more prepared to utilize their knowledge in the future to meet societal demands"--

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 operations
• Reframe common mathematical language to increase students’ conceptual understanding and make connections between ideas that are often seen as disconnected
• Compare the traditional process of communicating foundational mathematical ideas to the See It, Say It, Symbolize It process, with descriptive examples
• Comprehend the superpower understandings in elementary mathematics, which help students develop a dynamic and flexible understanding of numbers and operations as well as connect multiple concepts
• Internalize chapter content with reflection prompts and end-of-chapter application guides
