Read & Work: IRIS Case Studies Applying Learning Strategies to Beginning Algebra

As you compose your response, reference specific examples when you explain. If your response for the case study student includes teaching mathematical vocabulary, which terms would be important for the student to learn? This will give you more practice with remembering key math terms for yourself as well :-). Or, if you reference teaching CRA with Algebra tiles, explain how the student might use them with a sample problem. Again, the repetition will help YOU retain the strategy as well!
