Summary:

"In Mathematical Imagining, Christof introduces a new routine in which teachers give time for students to imagine individually, and then revise, discuss, and use the images they create. It can be taught in 15 minutes, once every two weeks, in the minimal version. He also shows some extended versions, where teachers can use the Mathematical Imaginings to springboard into deeper explorations"-- Provided by publisher.
