Standards-based analogies that teach analogical and mathematical reasoning.
Understanding analogies and the ability to reason analogically (reasoning used to identify, evaluate, and solve an analogy) are important problem-solving skills. Problem-solving is an essential part of mathematical development. Analogies teach students to break problems down into their component parts, making it easier to recognize familiar formats that enable students to produce solutions.
The analogies are designed around the grade-appropriate standards identified by the National Council of Teaching Mathematics.
