For example, an argument over blocks between two children: \”why do you think you need more blocks than Bobby? How do you think we can figure out how to get more blocks? Should we work together, or are you trying to make something all by yourself?\”

Math talk, and encouraging students to talk out a problem, discuss possible solutions and challanges, supports the development of this reasoning.

A basic foundation of math skills which allow children\’s growth, inquiry, interest, and internal motivation to engage in the acquisition of higher forms of math. It is essential for our country to have children learn about algebra, geometry, calculus, etc to respond to the technological advances that are constant in our world.
