EAC 1 – Specifically connecting to more than one representation of an idea.

Routines

  • Connect symbolic and visual representations
  • Create visual representations of word problems

Video Case Story

See how one middle grades mathematics teacher uses tasks about area of rectangles with fractional measurements to implement EAC 1 in her classroom.
