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.
