Mathematics is inherently cumulative, with each new concept building on previously learned material. By explicitly linking new content to students' prior knowledge, educators help students recognize the relevance and application of their learning. This approach not only creates a cohesive learning experience but also enhances student success as they progress from elementary through high school mathematics. By valuing what students already know, educators significantly improve student ability to grasp more complex ideas. POG: Engaged Collaborator
