Patrick Sullivan: How to Teach Primary Students Five Math Superpower Understandings

Do You Know What the Superpower Understandings in Math Are? Recently, I wrote an article for ASCD about modeling Math through a gradual release framework. A common way through which to do this is to teach Math conceptually, representationally, and then abstractly (CRA Framework). However, there are other frameworks that help students understand Math as well. This week on the podcast, I speak with Patrick Sullivan about additional ways to help elementary students see Math holistically. Sullivan is an Associate Professor of Mathematics at Missouri State University and the author of the Solution Tree book - See It, Say It, Symbolize It: Teaching the Big Ideas in Elementary Mathematics. We discuss:- The five superpower understandings all elementary students need - The interconnections among these understandings - How to model math through these understandings. I hope you will listen and subscribe.Patrick Sullivan Missouri State University Information See It Say It Symbolize It TPT ResourcesSee It Say It Symbolize It Book Elevate to Excellence WebsiteMusic - Aylex
