3. Communication
Concepts
- Mathematical ideas can be communicated.
- Written and spoken words, pictures, manipulatives, symbols, and movements help communication.
- Charts and graphs can be used to see relationships. Suggestions on making line graphs - Graphing notes .
- There are different wasy to communicate mathematically. Six sample Ways to communicate mathematically

5. Representations
Concepts
- Representations help organize, record, and communicate mathematical ideas.
- Representations help solve problems.
- When representing values graphically the use of a scale and units helps to visualize that representation and to do so more accurately and proportionally. For example the difference between six feet and ten feet is five. The difference between 72 inches and 120 inches is 48. How they are represented makes a differenc
