Saturday Math-Building Bridges to Algebra

In our final session of the year, we’ll explore how key ideas from elementary and middle school mathematics—such as proportional reasoning—support students’ understanding of algebra in high school. Through collaborative math tasks and discussion, we’ll consider how to connect and extend students’ thinking as they transition into more formal algebraic work.
