Reflection Questions: The Big Picture
• What instructional strategies observed or shared in this presentation can be applied to any strand in a mathematics classroom?
• How is literacy development addressed in the classroom shown in this presentation?
Verbal Description
• Put the first block down
• Place the second block in front of the first block
• Place the third block to the right of the first block
• Place the fourth block on top of the third block

Summary to Date
• Verbal representation:Continue to emphasize verbal descriptions BY the child to assess accurate use of descriptive language
• Semiotic representation:What is more difficult, code reading or code creation?
• 2-D conventional figures:Reproduction of corresponding 3-D models and codes using 2-Soma assemblies
