Help students reveal the math behind the words Solving problems is about more than computation. Students must understand the mathematics of a situation to know what computation will lead to an appropriate solution. Mathematize It! shares a reasoning approach that helps students dig into the problem to uncover the underlying mathematics, deeply consider the problem’s context, and employ strong operation sense to solve it. This user-friendly resource for Grades 6–8 ·         Offers a systematic mathematizing process for solving word problems ·         Provides specific examples of questions and explorations for multiplication and division, fractions and decimals, as well as operations with rational numbers ·         Demonstrates the use of visual representations to model problems with dozens of short videos
