Why Multiple Representations?
Why Multiple Representations?
Embedded Files
Multiple representations are widely used to build meaning behind math and develop a deeper understanding of properties or ideas connected to the same fact or operation. Representations include words, symbols, graphs, diagrams, tables, formulas, physical and virtual manipulatives, etc. They can be applied to math tools like a number line, a table, a coordinate plane, or manipulatives. These representations help students consider features from different perspectives and extend their math experience.
Standard of Learning (SOL) A.7f The student will investigate and analyze linear and quadratic function families and their characteristics both algebraically and graphically, including connections between and among multiple representations of functions using verbal descriptions, tables, equations, and graphs.
Finding Patterns
Finding Patterns
Use these scenarios and visual patterns with students in their random groups of 3 at the VNPS to explore multiple representations connecting words, images, tables, graphs and algebraic rules in their thinking groups. Start off with the very simple patterns to build student math confridence and some strateigeis for critical thinking and visualizing patterns in diffferent wasy. Here is a collection to chose from ....Linear, Quadratic & Challenging... Want some more?... Check out Fawn Nguyen's Collecion of Visual Patterns.
Area, Factors & Polynomials
Area, Factors & Polynomials
Use these sample promts and placemats with students in their random groups of 3 at the VNPS to explore multiple representations connecting factors, area, zeros, manipulatives, and algebraic rules. Thank you Casandra Scott @ Princess Anne High School for building these multiple representation mats for us to use with polynomials!
Zeros, Intercpets & Quadratics
Zeros, Intercpets & Quadratics
Use these sample promtps and placemats with students in their random groups of 3 at the VNPS to explore multiple representations connecting regression, zeros, tables, graphic model, and intercepts. Thank you Casandra Scott @ Princess Anne High School for building these multiple representation mats for us to use with modeling quadratics!
