Without reflection, learning
ends "short of the re-
organization                   of
thinking that deep      learning
requires" (Ewell, 1997).

                  Using examples from each grade level, the
                                  teacher actions and
                  speaker will model
                  share   strategies to help teachers
                  incorporate elements   of   reflections   in
                  mathematics lessons.
Re-organization of thinking:
• Find all the ways to ‘make ten’.
• Think about methods that your
  friends are not likely to use.

How would you break
4816 up in finding the

about 1512 in 1512  3?
