Getting started
Our materials support students in transforming their initial informal understanding of a context into the formal mathematical knowledge.
Teachers have a special guiding role in this process.
In this section, we introduce you to some of the strategies RME teachers use to support guided reinvention. You might begin by:
Watching a lesson taught by an experienced RME teacher- Exploring strategies that will enable strong mathematical discussions
- Watching one of our materials designers model a lesson and explain how he works with RME materials
