Teaching Mathematics to the Preadolescent Brain
Students should write in a journal reflecting on what they learned in math that day.
When you give students writing activities you need to scaffold them and be specific.
Students don't always understand that the "=" sign means equal. The notion of "equal" is complex and difficult for students to comprehend, yet it is a central math idea within algebra.
"Layering the curriculum is a simple way to differentiate instruction, encourage higher-level thinking, prepare students for adult-world decision making and hold the accountable for learning."(Pg 144)
