Buffington K-8 La Valencia B Visual representations (VRs) as problem solving tools have great potential for supporting students who are English learners (ELs). Explore how VRs in rational number contexts can support mathematical work and communication. Di scuss how to weave language strategies into VR-focused lessons, informed by example work produced by ELs using technological tools.
