Mathematical Representations Series: Putting it All Together

In my last five posts, I've gone a DEEP dive into Lesh's Translation Model and Mathematical Representations. In case you've missed any of the representations along the way, be sure to check them ... Read More

Mathematical Representations Series Part 5: Contextual Representation

Welcome back to our deep dive into mathematical representations! Today, we are taking a look at contextual representations and how we can translate between symbolic, concrete, visual, and verbal representations. First, let's do a ... Read More

Mathematical Representations Series Part 4: Verbal Representation

Welcome back to our deep dive into mathematical representations! Today, we are taking a look at symbolic representations and how we can translate between symbolic, concrete, and visual representations. First, let's do a two-sentence ... Read More

Mathematical Representations Series Part 3: Symbolic Representation

Welcome back to our deep dive into mathematical representations! Today, we are taking a look at symbolic representations and how we can translate between symbolic, concrete, and visual representations. First, let's do a two-sentence ... Read More

Mathematical Representations Series Part 2: Visual Representation

Welcome back to our deep dive into mathematical representations! Today, I'm really excited to talk about visual representations and the WIDE variety we may see from our students. First, let's do a three-sentence recap of this series so ... Read More

Mathematical Representations Series Part 1: Concrete Representation

I know I often talk about different math topics and skills, but today I want to enter into a discussion about how we represent those skills. Representations are how our brain communicates mathematical thoughts and concepts. The one we ... Read More

hello I'm Jillian

I’m so happy you’re here. I want every child to feel confident in their math abilities, and that happens when every teacher feels confident in their ability to teach math.

In my fifteen years of teaching, I sought every opportunity to learn more about teaching math. I wanted to know HOW students develop math concepts, just like I had been taught how students learn to read. I want every teacher to experience the same math transformation I did, and have the confidence to teach any student that steps foot in their classroom. I’m excited to be alongside you in your math journey!
