Saturday Math-Modeling Algebra

In our first hybrid session, we’ll explore algebraic thinking through multiple models—visuals, manipulatives, and symbolic representations. Whether you’re joining us in person or online, you’ll engage in rich math tasks and discussions that highlight how connecting different models can support students’ understanding of algebraic relationships.

Come ready to think deeply, collaborate across modalities, and walk away with ideas to use in your own teaching.
