Inspire your students’ journey to mathematical understanding through hands-on tools and purposeful strategies! In this session, educators will explore how to guide students from concrete to abstract thinking using the Clothesline Math approach. By leveraging the Concrete-Representational-Abstract (CRA) instructional sequence with algebra tiles, participants will deepen their practice in teaching multiplication and algebraic concepts. Educators will also build a clear progression for teaching integer operations with two-color counters, fostering a solid conceptual foundation for their students. The session will culminate with the creation of formative assessments designed to pinpoint students’ needs and shape a student-centered learning plan for mastery. With new insights and strategies, educators will leave equipped to bring these transformative practices into their classrooms and support all learners in achieving success.
