The University of Arizona: Expressions, Equations, and (In)Equality in Grades 6-9 (IMPACTS-MS)

Expressions, equations, and inequalities are critical concepts for students transitioning from Elementary arithmetic to High School mathematics. Students progress from the world of concrete representations to abstract thinking, bringing to bear a variety of math trajectories. Workshop participants will explore strategies for building relevance, excitement, and understanding through the use of manipulatives, engaging tasks, and a sound understanding of student learning trajectories. Come join us in developing a deep understanding of expressions, equations, and (in)equality in secondary mathematics.

Presenters: TBA

Time: 8:30am – 12:30pm

Location: Hybrid: In-person at UArizona Tucson Campus. Remote via Zoom.

Earn: Up to 5 hours of professional development credit for recertification.
