Concept Circle Thinking Routine, Class Set 6 Posters

COMING SOON for Back to School!

Make Math Visual with a dynamic instructional routine and collaborative graphic organizers. It invites students to explore and discuss a math concept through multiple representations, including manipulatives, drawings, numbers, words, and symbols.

A central math concept is placed in the center of the Concept Circle, and students represent the idea in multiple ways. They discuss and connect their representations to deepen mathematical understanding and build mathematical language. The routine encourages explanation, questioning, and justification.

Designed by an educator and researcher for K-12 classrooms, intervention groups, centers, and enrichment, this flexible routine helps students engage in meaningful math discourse.
