Also, check out Christina Tondevold’s (a Recovering Traditionalist and Build Math Minds facilitator –see BuildMathMinds.com) suggested questions to ask in evaluating a math resource:
- Is it focused on problem solving or answer getting?
- Do the lessons include C-R-A? (C-R-A stands for Concrete, Representational, and Abstract)
- Do the lessons include the three areas of rigor — conceptual understanding, procedural fluency, and application? All three of these make up a balanced approach to mathematics.
