There are structures that serve as the foundation for math concepts, such as our base 10 number system, measurement systems, and the hierarchy of shapes.

In this episode, we unpack Math Practice 7: Look for and make use of structure, and explore how helping students notice and use the building blocks of math can completely transform how they approach new problems. From number patterns to properties of operations, we’ll talk about why these discoveries matter, and why memorization alone isn’t enough.

You’ll walk away with strategies and prompts to support student discovery, plus a renewed appreciation for the deep thinking kids are capable of when given the space to look, notice, and make sense of math on their own terms.
