Workshop 1: Bridging Math and Science Through Proportional Reasoning
Description: During this workshop, we will take a deep-dive into student development of proportional reasoning, critical to mastering concepts in fields ranging from science to engineering. A unit of classroom instructional materials that aid students in building a rich model of what it means to reason proportionally will be shared.
Since proportional reasoning crosses grade levels and content areas, this workshop is appropriate for teachers from all STEM fields and a variety of grade levels. Activities shared will begin with the foundational development of the ratio concept ( late elementary to middle school grades) and span into increasingly sophisticated use of proportional reasoning ( applicable to high school and and early college).
Dates: June 17-21, 2024
