Mathematics can be taught effectively through a progression of thinking tools: starting with manipulatives, then with pictures, and ending with an abstract procedure. These are the thinking tools that students can use to answer the Common Core's call for students to make viable arguments, critique the reasoning of others, and to defend, show, explain, and reason.
