Teaching Math with Multiple Representations ‖ Best Practice ‖ K-12 Math Instruction ‖ Project STAIR

Many students need to see math presented in a lot of different ways. Using a variety drawings and manipulatives can often help students understand complex and abstract math concepts. The CRA (Concrete-Representational-Abstract) model, as known as multiple representations, can be a powerful tool to help students who are struggling to understand what a math concept really means.
In this video, Sarah Powell from UT demonstrates three different ways to represent numbers and math concepts, providing a guide to using multiple representations in your own classroom.
This video is a part of the Best Practices series, meant to help build math teachers' teaching tool belts and provide the best research-based strategies to help students who struggle with math. This video is also part of Project STAIR, a research-backed resource for math teachers and parents whose students are struggling in math.
