Ever wondered how to unlock the algebraic potential in young minds? Look no further, as we've tapped into the expertise of Rebecca Brenneman, a seasoned 7th-grade math teacher from Maryland, who's got the playbook for priming middle schoolers for the world of algebra. Rebecca's approach emphasizes a rock-solid number sense and the art of breaking down complex problems into bite-sized, manageable chunks—skills that are essential for setting the stage for variables and abstract algebraic concepts. Her discussion on the power of pattern recognition, rational number operations, and viewing equations as balances offers a fresh perspective on equation solving that both novices and veteran educators can appreciate.
