  • Learn about tasks—and ideas for creating tasks—that encourage students in grades 3–5 to reason about number and operations and to make, justify, refute, refine, and generalize conjectures. Discussion will focus on how to encourage generalizing and shape students’ justification in the classroom in order to bring out important ideas about number and operation.
