Goal: Think like a mathematician! Looking for repetition in the way you build, then generalize the regularity.

Live Webinar
Are you worried about how your students will approach learning mathematics in a post-pandemic classroom? Quantitative reasoning, a building-on-strengths approach, and reasoning routines are three critical ingredients to address unfinished learning. In this webinar, we will explore how to integrate all three as we develop students’ capacity to make sense of new mathematical content and contexts with confidence. We will focus on quantitative reasoning in critical concepts in middle school mathematics: ratio and proportional relationships, algebratizing arithmetic, and/or rational number concepts. Leave the webinar with concrete strategies to advance your students’ unfinished learning while teaching grade level content.

We did this as our second lesson (following Eric the sheep). I gave the students both 1 cm grid paper as well as unified cubes to build and represent. Most students could build before they could explain. Some gravitated toward the graphic representation first. Many students recognized the repetition quickly~and this was a helpful exercise to talk about generalizing the repetition. Meta reflections were stronger than before, with a few outliers.
