3-Modeling<br />

Models help promote <strong>math</strong>ematical thinking and facilitate an understanding of key<br />

concepts and <strong>math</strong>ematical structures. By seeing and moving objects, students<br />

engage their senses to better understand and reason with abstract concepts, or to<br />

make sense of and solve problems. Teachers can support students who struggle<br />

with abstraction by differentiating instruction using models. Virtual models provide<br />

a different sensory experience, which can be helpful for students who have<br />

difficulty with physical objects.<br />

Modeling - Teach with Tech Struggling students may miss the important step of<br />

connecting the physical model to the more general, abstract concept. Some<br />

students may also have difficulty translating from the problem to the model and<br />

back again to provide an answer. Implementing the strategies below can help you<br />

differentiate instruction.
