Symbols can often be different depending on the country (p.70)

2. Mathematical vocabulary can be confusing  because of different meanings.  (p.70)

4. Through oral commands, teachers can assess and observe whether students response is correct, either nonverbally or verbally (p.72)

5. Students can benefit from learning through multiple modes and modalities. (p.71)

6. Have students manipulate real objects such as cubes, rods or whatever is age appropriate. (p.72)

8. Practicing syntax is important i.e. sum vs. sums has totally different meaning (p.70)

9.  Apply math knowledge for problem solving (pg.71)
