The Math Forum has been hosting a series of online workshops for teachers who work with students in 5th through 9th grade. Teachers are exploring how technology can help students build algebraic reasoning as they model and solve contextualized problems using a variety of representations, including graphs, tables, equations, and words.

The workshop fees are being covered by a National Science Foundation (NSF) grant, and afford participants the convenience of anytime, anywhere online learning.

The next workshop will be offered August 13 - September 22. Certificates of completion will be available for participants finishing the six weeks of interaction. View our overview page for additional details:
