Bridging the Gaps: Mapping Mathematical Connections Across Middle School Domains
Tuesday July 15, 2025 9:00am - 10:30am EDT
Mathematics is not a collection of isolated skills—it’s a web of interconnected ideas that, when woven together, create a deeper and more meaningful understanding for students. In this session, we will explore how to map connections across domains to support students in making sense of math, strengthening fluency, and building confidence. Through engagement with grade-specific examples, interactive discussions, and hands-on mapping exercises, teachers will leave with strategies to seamlessly integrate these connections into their instruction.
