How can Problem Strings help build big ideas? In this episode Pam and Kim walk through a Problem String that helps students dig into area and multiplicative equivalence and help you know how to expertly facilitate.

Talking Points:

• Facilitating the string
• Teacher moves during the string
• Modeling the string
• Equal products means total area is the same
• Why we want students to have lots of experience with concepts rather than just direct teaching.
