Description

Are you a middle school math teacher looking to shift your instructional focus from teaching isolated algebra concepts to developing algebraic reasoning? Then this mini workshop is for you!

Designed specifically for middle school math teachers who want to confidently meet the rigorous demands of their curriculum, this mini workshop will provide the instructional strategies and classroom-ready PDFs needed to unlock your superpower. Centering the Concrete-Representational-Abstract (CRA) approach, you will use bar models to explore strategies that reinforce and extend students' existing number sense understanding to solve equations with rational numbers. At the end of this course, you will be equipped with practical tools to make middle school mathematics more accessible and understandable for every learner in your classroom.
