Live Webinar
Are you worried about how your students will approach learning mathematics in a post-pandemic classroom? Structural thinking, 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 interpret mathematical content, including expressions, equations, graphs, and representations, with confidence. We will focus on structural thinking in critical concepts in middle school mathematics: ratio and proportional relationships, algebratizing arithmetic, rational number concepts, geometric relationships, and/or functions. Leave the webinar with concrete strategies to advance your students’ unfinished learning while teaching grade level content.

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?
