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

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.
Register here by June 7th at noon EDT
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.

Participants will develop a deep understanding of how five research-based strategies (ask yourself questions, sentence frames and starters, annotation, the Four R’s, and turn-and-talks) can be used to help students with learning disabilities develop mathematical thinking. They will learn about six accessibility areas (conceptual processing, visual-spatial processing, language, attention, organization, and memory) math learners must use when doing mathematics. They will see how the essential strategies support students as they work in each of the accessibility areas by engaging in an instructional routine designed to develop mathematical thinking. Participants coalesce their learnings as they apply the course ideas to draft IEP goals that focus on students’ mathematical thinking.

Do your students struggle to make sense of word problems on their own? In this 90-minute webinar, you’ll learn why students struggle to interpret math word problems. We’ll talk about how word problems are written and why their design often creates a stumbling block for students. You’ll learn about the Three Reads reasoning routine and how it can help your students develop into powerful math readers. Participants will leave the webinar with concrete strategies they can implement immediately to help their students read with a mathematician’s eye.

This task set offers some choices. You can choose to match the visuals to numeric expressions or match the visuals to algebraic expressions. In addition, we provided four different pairs (well, really trios) of representations. Choose the three that best suit your needs. Or create a new pair!
