Sommario/riassunto

Seeing is believing with this interactive approach to math instruction  



Do you ever wish your students could read each other's thoughts? Now they can-and so can you! This newest book by veteran mathematics educators provides instructional strategies for maximizing students' mathematics comprehension by integrating visual thinking into the classroom. Included are numerous grade-specific sample problems for teaching essential concepts such as number sense, fractions, and estimation. Among the many benefits of visible thinking are:     Interactive student-to-student learning    Increased class p
