Underlying Mathematical Concepts

In Part One of the course text, Burns (2007) states that “for many people there is little relationship between the abstractions of mathematics and the concepts these

abstractions represent” (p. 29). Identify and define one mathematical process that can be executed with only an abstract understanding of it (e.g., dividing

fractions), then develop a lesson plan or series of specific instructional strategies that addresses the underlying concepts behind your chosen process and assesses

understanding of it. Summarize the results of your efforts in a paper that includes the following:

Describe a specific mathematical process.

Create a lesson plan or series of instructional strategies with a clearly identified learning outcome (What will your students learn?).

Describe a specific method for assessment (How will your students demonstrate their understanding of both the mathematical process and the underlying concept?).
Your paper should be two to three pages in length (not including title and reference pages), should incorporate at least three scholarly sources.
