This session explores how concept circles can be used as an engaging structure for helping elementary students represent mathematical ideas through images, words, and manipulatives. Participants will experience hands-on tasks that show how placing manipulatives directly on the circles strengthens students’ discourse, visualization, modelling, and representation skills. The session highlights the role of the central circle in uncovering mathematical relationships and patterns, offering a powerful entry point for deeper reasoning. Teachers will leave with practical strategies for designing interactive tasks that make mathematical thinking visible.
