What does reasoning about algebraic expressions look like? In this episode, Kim facilitates a Problem String that has Pam solving equations using equivalence.

Talking Points:

• Equivalence strategies are the most sophisticated
• Learning to think relationally, rather than procedurally
• Relational thinking builds mathematical identity and genuine engagement
