Students practice estimating the magnitude of numbers while manipulating puzzle pieces, developing a deeper understanding of numerical relationships.
Make abstract mathematical concepts concrete through hands-on manipulation of shapes and sizes, connecting operations to visual representations.
Teachers can use these informal experiences as launching points for deeper discussions about mathematical expressions and equivalent operations.
3 × 5 = 5 × 3
4 × (2 × 3) = (4 × 2) × 3
3(2 + 3) = 3(2) + 3(3)
3(2) + 3(3) = 3(2 + 3)
