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

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.

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!
