Inhaltsangabe

Just like representations in everyday life, this book shows that they are ubiquitous to science, technology, engineering, and mathematics--the STEM disciplines. "Show Me What You Know" showcases research on representations across a range of STEM disciplines and ages--from children as young as 2 years of age to professional mathematicians. The text highlights the importance of paying close attention to learners' interpretations and productions of different representations as a source of evidence for what learners understand, and another way for learners to "show us what they know." The text is organized around four themes: appropriation of representations, making meaning, highlighting, and representations as scaffolds and supports.

Book Features:

• Focus on representations in specific STEM disciplines.
• An examination of how students across different ages engage with, produce, and use representations.
• Section reflections that serve to broaden our thinking about representations.
• Graphs, charts, and examples of students' drawings.
