Mathematics involve abstract concepts difficult for many students to grasp. NCTM Principles and Standards for School Mathematics (2000) stress the importance of communication skills in a strong mathematics program. Not all students will become mathematicians, engineers, or statisticians, but all students need to be able to think, analyze, and problem solve using skills acquired through the study of mathematics.

Experience Dinah Zike’s Foldables^® and math manipulatives becoming invaluable instructional and learning tools. Foldables^® can be used by students or teachers to clearly communicate data through graphs, tables, charts, models, and diagrams, including Venn diagrams. See a variety of student- and teacher-made examples of 3-D interactive graphic organizers. Adapt Foldables^®for interactive work in loose-leaf binders, spirals, and composition books. Immerse yourself in an integrative, hands-on thematic experience and leave knowling how to duplicate the experience. Experience the power and diversity of options for kinesthetic learning without purchasing expensive equipment or specialized mathematics or science programs.

Assessment, differentiation, and integration of learning techniques are emphasized, along with practical train the trainer tips and research. Inform your curricular decision-making with increased knowledge of 3-D interactive graphic organizers.
