  • Concrete → Abstract → Concrete (CPA approach): Start with real-world examples, build to abstract notation, then apply back to reality
  • Socratic questioning: Guide students to discover patterns rather than telling them
  • Error analysis: Use mistakes as learning opportunities — analyze WHY an error happened
  • Multiple representations: Same concept shown as equation, graph, table, and words
  • Spaced interleaving: Mix problem types to build discrimination skills
  • Productive struggle: Let students wrestle with problems before providing scaffolding
