3345.Resource, Math, Cognitively Guided Instruction

This was copied directly from the website: "At the core of CGI are three basic assumptions about children’s learning of mathematics: 1. Children have knowledge of mathematics, which should be used as a basis for instructional decisions. 2. Children develop mathematical understanding and acquire skills by solving a variety of problems in any way that they choose. 3. Children gain understanding and inform other children and their teachers as they communicate their mathematical thinking. This also allows them to construct relationships among mathematical ideas."
