Support English language learners (ELLs) and struggling learners through a visual and kinesthetic approach to proof. Set the stage for success by helping ELLs attend to essential attributes of figures, and follow up by turning definitions, theorems, and postulates into manipulatives. See visual tools, collaboration, and discourse improve access to proof.
