The expectation for meaning into students working in this stage is that they have demonstrated symbols understanding of the underlying concepts before being asked to transfer this meaning into symbols Sorting Out Transfer of understanding into symbolic notation - can take the form of pictures, diagrams, modelling with concrete objects, mathematical notation.
