  6. 6 ProportionalThinking Asdifferentwaystothinkaboutproportions areconsideredanddiscussed,teachers shouldhelpstudentsrecognizewhenand howvariouswaysofreasoningabout proportionsmightbeappropriatetosolve problems PSSM,2000 Partners forMathematicsLearning

  7. 7 CapstoneoftheCurriculum! “Proportionalreasoninghasbeenreferred toasthecapstonefortheelementary curriculumandthecornerstoneofalgebra andbeyond.” VandeWalle,J.A(2004).ElementaryandMiddleSchool Mathematics:TeachingDevelopmentally.PearsonLearningInc. Partners forMathematicsLearning

  8. 8 Amazing–Isn’tIt? “Itisestimatedthatmorethanhalfofthe adultpopulationcannotbeviewedas proportionalthinkers.Thatmeansthatwe donotacquirethehabitsandskillsof proportionalreasoningsimplybygetting older.” VandeWalle,J.A(2004).ElementaryandMiddleSchool Mathematics:TeachingDevelopmentally.PearsonLearningInc. Partners forMathematicsLearning

  9. 9 ResearchSays… “Researchindicatesthatinstructioncanhavean effect,especiallyifrulesandalgorithmsfor fractioncomputation,forcomparingratios,and forsolvingproportionsaredelayed.Premature useofrulesencouragesstudentstoapplyrules withoutthinkingand,thus,theabilitytoreason proportionallyoftendoesnotdevelop.” VandeWalle,J.A(2004).ElementaryandMiddleSchool Mathematics:TeachingDevelopmentally.PearsonLearningInc.
