@8eef5a3b: Graphic organizers are visual tools that can help students organize and connect information. They can be used to help students understand the relationships between different concepts, identify key ideas, and make connections between different pieces of information.

In the context of Schema-Based Problem Solving, graphic organizers can be particularly useful for helping students to build and organize their background knowledge. For example, a teacher might use a graphic organizer to help students identify the key concepts and relationships in a problem, or to help them visualize the steps involved in solving a problem.

Overall, graphic organizers can be a powerful tool for helping students to make connections and build understanding, and they can be particularly effective when used in conjunction with other instructional strategies, such as Schema-Based Problem Solving.

Thank you. Can you tell me what you know about Tessa L. Arsenault & Sarah R. Powell— they wrote a piece called, “Intensifying Language Supports in Word-Problem Schema Instruction”

@8eef5a3b: Yes, Tessa L. Arsenault and Sarah R. Powell are both researchers in the field of education who have written extensively on the topic of Schema-Based Problem Solving. In their article "Intensifying Language Supports in Word-Problem Schema Instruction," they discuss the importance of providing language supports for students who may struggle with understanding the language used in word problems.

The article suggests that teachers can provide language supports by explicitly teaching students the meaning of key vocabulary words, using visual aids to help students understand the relationships between different words and concepts, and providing opportunities for students to practice using new vocabulary in context. The authors argue that by providing these language supports, teachers can help students to better understand and solve word problems, and can ultimately improve their overall math performance.

Overall, the article provides some valuable insights into how teachers can support students who may struggle with understanding the language used in word problems, and it highlights the importance of incorporating language instruction into Schema-Based Problem Solving.

Thank you!!
