82. Visualizing Mathematics

83. Visualizing Mathematics “ In our concern about the memorization of math facts or solving problems, we must not forget that the root of mathematical study is the creation of mental pictures in the imagination and manipulating those images and relationships using the power of reason and logic.” Mindy Holte (E I)

84. Visualizing Mathematics “ Think in pictures, because the brain remembers images better than it does anything else.” Ben Pridmore, World Memory Champion, 2009

85. Visualizing Mathematics “ Mathematics is the activity of creating relationships, many of which are based in visual imagery. ” Wheatley and Cobb

86. Visualizing Mathematics “ The process of connecting symbols to imagery is at the heart of mathematics learning.” Dienes

87. Visualizing Mathematics “ The role of physical manipulatives was to help the child form those visual images and thus to eliminate the need for the physical manipulatives.” Ginsberg and others
