Course Description

Building fluency while developing deep understandings and connections in mathematics can be supported through the use of multiple representations.

MRM Match



See why multiple representations have been one of the five basic process standards from NCTM for the past several decades. The use of multiple representations will be modeled for the beginning mathematician in the primary years through the secondary mathematicians' more advanced topics. Topical trajectories will be shared to support teachers' understanding the development of foundational topics in mathematics.


Modules include:

  • Why Use Multiple Representations?
  • Recognizing Representations & Making Connections
  • Using Representations to Model Relationships
  • Using Representations to Communicate Mathematical Ideas
  • Representations in Action


Basic + and Custom level participants will have the opportunity to work with Tammy in live support sessions.

Participants will receive several grade band specific activities and resources that support students’ developing a deeper understanding with representations.

PD Hours:

Upon successful completion of the Basic course, participants will get a certificate for 6 hours of PD credit.

Upon successful completion of the Basic+ course, participants will get a certificate for 12 hours of PD credit.

PD credit hours will be determined by the local district/school for the Custom course.

          Lead Instructor

          Tammy Jones

          Meet Your Instructor An educator since 1979, Tammy L. Jones has worked with students from first grade through college. Currently, Tammy is consulting with individual school districts in training teachers on strategies for making content accessible to all learners. Writing integrations as well as literacy connections are foundational in everything Tammy does. Tammy also works with teachers on effective techniques for being successful in the classroom. As a classroom teacher Tammy’s goal was that all students understand and appreciate the content they were studying; that they could read it, write it, explore it, and communicate it with confidence; and that they would be able to use the content as they need to in their lives. Tammy believes that logical reasoning, followed by a well-reasoned presentation of results, is central to the process of learning, and that this learning happens most effectively in a cooperative, student-centered classroom. Tammy believes that learning is experiential and in her current consulting work creates and shares engaging and effective educational experiences.
