Unlock the surprising ways proportional reasoning fuels functional thinking. We’ll explore how students use co-variation and rate of change to make sense of linear, exponential, and even recursive patterns in sequences. Learn how to leverage these connections through representation-rich tasks that build a strong conceptual bridge from ratios → sequences → functions. You’ll leave with...

The key to helping students understand and successfully solve word problems is to help them visualize and make sense of the problem. They need to be able to decide the overall “structure” and determine the relationships involved in any given problem. Participants will learn how to help students close read the word problem, represent their...
