What is mathematical thinking and how do we teach it?
Participants will develop a deep understanding of what it means to think and reason mathematically. They will learn three distinct ways of thinking mathematically championed in the Common Core State Standards for Mathematical Practice: reasoning quantitatively, thinking structurally, and reasoning through repetition. In addition, participants will learn how to develop these avenues of thinking in their students.

This task was a fantastic entry point for a fourth grade class for this routine. Students felt comfortable with the numbers, and were able to then focus on the routine and the visual representations. We had a fantastic discussion about what the third visual model would be, and students loved the routine! A great start!
