Four Types of Math Strategies
- There are four distinct meanings of "strategies" in math education.
- These include numeracy strategies, problem-solving strategies, teaching strategies, and strategies for teaching.
Numeracy vs. Problem-Solving Strategies
- Numeracy strategies involve manipulating numbers or structures.
- Problem-solving strategies involve attacking a problem and choosing appropriate numeracy strategies.
Center on Numerical Strategies
- Focus on numerical strategies to make other math strategies effective.
- Without strong numerical strategies, other strategies fall flat.
