Teaching Tip:
Research shows that activities in which children can communicate their thinking helps to deepen their understanding of mathematical concepts. While playing a math game, for example, players might challenge each other’s answers. “Students who are involved in discussions in which they justify solutions—especially in the face of disagreement—will gain better mathematical understanding as they work to convince their peers about differing points of view” (Hatano & Inagaki, 1991, as cited in Principles and Standards for School Mathematics, 2000).
