Mathematical reasoning
Linda Brumbaugh
- Reading
- Try a lesson together, then let the learner attempt its activities independently. Pause to compare strategies, and adjust the pace if a concept needs more practice.
- Themes
- Reasoning through maths problems: The lessons aim to develop mathematical reasoning alongside concepts and computation, including the use of different strategies to solve problems. The stated approach is instructional: it presents reasoning and problem-solving as skills to practise.
- Worth knowing
- The book is intended to cover a broad curriculum, including some material usually taught later. Check whether that planned level and pace fit the learner’s current needs.
