Goal:
Think like a mathematician! Connect representations by chunking, changing the form, and connecting to math you know.
Connect visual representations to expressions

Are you thinking about how to address students’ unfinished learning? We are too! In this webinar, we will share our current thinking on how to leverage reasoning routines to assess and advance underdeveloped math concepts from the previous year. We will discuss how students’ capacities to reason quantitatively and think structurally hold the keys to building new mathematical understandings and connections. We will focus on critical concepts in middle school mathematics: ratio and proportional relationships, algebratizing arithmetic, rational number concepts, geometric relationships, and/or functions. Join us to explore this building-on-strengths approach to accelerating unfinished learning.

This task was a fantastic entry point for a fourth grade class for this routine. Students felt comfortable with the numbers, and were able to then focus on the routine and the visual representations. We had a fantastic discussion about what the third visual model would be, and students loved the routine! A great start!
