• Resumen

  • Switzer discusses mathematical problem that offers students a chance to explore transformations and use spatial reasoning. Students' discourse and written work provide a window into using evidence of student thinking to assess progress toward mathematical understanding and to adjust instruction continually in ways that support and extend learning. As students began to draw on properties of rectangles and the fair cuts they had generated, Switzer made the decision to adjust his original plan and use students thinking to develop their thinking further.
