Abstract:
Research suggests that a major stumbling block to understanding algebra, for students at all levels, stems from not developing an understanding of the equal sign. In this webinar, participants will learn how students at all levels; ABE, ESOL, and HSE alike; can construct meaning in algebraic equations by examining relationships on opposite sides of the equal sign. Participants will understand how to use simple instructional routines, visual models, and online resources to help students develop conceptual understanding of equality and add depth to the process of “what you do to one side of the equal sign you have to do to the other side.” No prior expertise in algebra is needed.
