NCTM Standards • Connections • Instructional programs from prekindergarten through grade 12 should enable all students to-- • recognize and use connections among mathematical ideas; • understand how mathematical ideas interconnect and build on one another to produce a coherent whole; • recognize and apply mathematics in contexts outside of mathematics.
NCTM Standards • Representation • Instructional programs from prekindergarten through grade 12 should enable all students to-- • create and use representations to organize, record, and communicate mathematical ideas; • select, apply, and translate among mathematical representations to solve problems; • use representations to model and interpret physical, social, and mathematical phenomena.
JUST DO IT • Demonstration isn't just show and tell. • It's show and tell and JUST DO IT. • That's what it needs. • Remember the ancient saying: "Tell me and I'll forget; Show me and I may remember; Involve me and I'll understand."
