Chapter+1

=Chapter One: Introduction and Representation = This chapter will get you used to the way your text and classwork will be organized. It also gives you an idea of how you will be working with your classmates throughout the year. We start by working together in teams to solve a series of challenging problems. These problems are a sample of the mathematics taught in sixth grade.

Think about these questions throughout this chapter:

 * How can I work with my team to figure it out?
 * What questions can I ask about this problem?
 * How can I organize my work?
 * How can I describe my thinking?

** The FIve Ways of Thinking **
This chapter will also introduce you to five __Ways of Thinking__ that are threaded throughout the course. They are:
 * 1) comparing quantities, strategies, representations, and solutions
 * 2) visualizing information and ideas
 * 3) describing and explaining your thinking
 * 4) looking for multiple ways of seeing ideas or doing problems
 * 5) sense making (talking and thinking about ideas until they makes sense to you)
