The circles of connection in Maths.
Maths-to-world connections help students identify real world applications of the maths they are studying in the classroom.
Comprehension strategy: making connections
We are going to learn about another strategy to activate prior knowledge. It is called making text-to-world connections.
These are connections that readers make between the text and the bigger issues, events, problems or concerns of society.To make these types of connections the reader must think about what is going on in the world around them.

CONNECTING WHAT WE READ IN THE PROBLEM TO WHAT IS HAPPENING IN OUR REAL WORLD.
Ways to Start your Connections in Maths…“That reminds me of … ““Remember when … ““This is like … ““This problem makes me think of …”“This equation reminds me of … “

Making connections with equations
3x + 5= 16
I am going to read a problem to you and model for you how I make connections while I read.
I want you simply to listen and notice the connections I’m making, then, you will have an opportunity to do the same.
As I was reading did you make any connections? Allow time for discussion.
Allow time for sharing.
The problemThere are 70.8 m of fencing around a rectangular field.The length of the field is 20.4 m.Determine the width of the field.This reminds of a real world problem (When we did our fence). This helps me to solve real world problems.
What does this problem reminds me of?
