Algebra Problem Strings Day 1: What Makes a Problem String?
Algebra I




A problem string is a purposeful sequence of related problems, designed to help students mentally construct mathematical relationships.  It is a powerful lesson structure during which teachers and students interact to construct important mathematical strategies, models, and concepts.  The power of a problem string lies in the carefully crafted conversation as students solve problems, one at a time, and the teacher models student thinking and draws out important connections and relationships.  During this session, teachers work through sets of problem strings in several areas of Algebra.  Those areas include Data Exploration, Proportional Reasoning, Linear Equations, Functions, and Linear Models.  Participants will explore how to have productive discourse with students so that they form their own rules about the math.
