and mirrors instructional routines that facilitate strong concept development.”
Elena Izquierdo, Ph.D., OWL Consulting Author, University of Texas, El Paso

Make Math Count
Focus on Problem Solving, Investigations, and Inquiry
“Young children need to touch, investigate, and move concrete
materials as they develop their mathematical understanding of

appropriate manipulative to use for specific lessons.”
Juanita V. Copley, Ph.D., OWL Consulting Author, University of Houston
