What is mathematical thinking and how do we teach it?
Participants will develop a deep understanding of what it means to think and reason mathematically. They will learn three distinct ways of thinking mathematically championed in the Common Core State Standards for Mathematical Practice: reasoning quantitatively, thinking structurally, and reasoning through repetition. In addition, participants will learn how to develop these avenues of thinking in their students.

I’m a little stuck as to what the first picture is supposed to represent. My colleagues didn’t have the best ideas, either. I will try it with my students, letting them try to determine what equation will go with it, but I’m stumped. Any help?
