Document Summary
Look for empirical research on your topic: research that will help enrich your lesson plan. Kids need to be able to connect the concrete material to het abstract relations they are trying to convey. For younger children, making connections between the object and the abstract relation is not as transparent. Study on teaching mathematical concepts using concrete material. Concrete-to-abstract fading: start with abstract introduce richer and richer. Best performance on transfer test in concrete to-abstract fading: better performance when the can make links between the concrete and the abstract. Use concrete material first paper bags, blocks, and balls. Then draw squares on the white board to replace the paper bags. Deep connection between mathematical fluency and problem solving: if you don"t have fluency or automaticity suffer from cognitive overload, can see patterns and rules or make connections and generalizations. ***explain why the 9 times table finger trick is related to the 9x table pattern john should us.
