How do students build true understanding in math — the kind that lets them connect ideas, solve unfamiliar problems, and explain their thinking with clarity? In this episode, we explore a powerful framework that helps make that possible: Lesh’s Translation Model.

You’ll hear how this model invites students to work across multiple representations of math ideas, and why those connections matter so much for deep, durable learning. Whether you’re new to this idea or already thinking about how students represent their math thinking, this episode offers a fresh lens to help them make meaning and not just get answers.
