Lead Speaker:

Teaching students in sixth grade to set up a proportion and cross-multiply to solve problems has been historically the biggest hindrance to developing proportional reasoning. The speaker will discuss several big ideas of proportional reasoning and examine how the Common Core State Standards prescribe representing proportional relationships.
