  • Presentation #457, Hillman&Buchalter, Equity and Algebra for At-Risk Students.pdf (336.0 kB)

  • Equity for at-risk students requires a paradigm shift to help them “see” the hidden and often assumed prior knowledge. Using real-world examples meaningful to these students, make the hidden ideas of algebra visible. Students who struggle with traditional algebra succeed when appropriate supports for learning are made transparent.
