Since the 1970s Dan Bassill, founder of the Tutor/Mentor Connection (led by Tutor/Mentor Institute, LLC since 2011)' has used visualizations to share strategies and resources. This page is the first of five pages where visual essays created since the 1990s are shared.
This page includes a list of these visual essays and more. Many have been uploaded to Scribd.com and Slideshare.com since 2011. However, due to heavy advertising on these platforms they are difficult to read without paying a fee. Thus, the PDFs are now shared from a file on my Google drive.
