Middle school mathematics is instrumental for making sense of and impacting the world. It helps students understand such important ideas as ratios, proportional reasoning, percent change, negative numbers, expressions, equivalence, equality, similarity, and functional thinking. This is why it is so important that middle school mathematics instruction emphasize conceptualization and problem solving, not just formulas...
Addition and subtraction are the foundation of elementary mathematics. These operations intentionally and systematically grow from work in Kindergarten through grade 3, culminating in fluency with addition and subtraction in grade 4. How do we help students move along the path? What strategies will build the concept clearly and understandably? Come and explore the conceptual...
