8-Visual Representations<br />
All students can benefit from using visual representations, although struggling<br />
students may require extra support and practice. Visual representations are a<br />
powerful way for students to access abstract <strong>math</strong> ideas. Drawing a situation,<br />
graphing lists of data, or placing numbers on a number line all help to make abstract<br />
concepts more concrete, whether done online or offline. Developing this strategy<br />
early will give students tools and ways of thinking that they can use as they<br />
advance in their learning of more abstract concepts.<br />
Visual Representations - Teach With Tech Choosing the “right” visual<br />
representation often depends on content and context. In some contexts, there are<br />
multiple ways to represent the same idea. Your students need to view a variety of<br />
visual representations (see UDL Checkpoint 2.5: Illustrate through multiple media)<br />
in order to learn when and why they should choose each one. As you plan how to<br />
provide differentiated support and practice, consider ways technology tools can<br />
support the development of this critical practice.
