We can't get enough of ratio tables! In this episode Pam and Kim go through another division Problem String, highlighting how they model-represent their thinking on ratio tables. They invite listeners to grab a pen or pencil and practice representing their own thinking on a ratio table.
Talking Points:

  • Noticings from MathStratChat
  • Does context matter?
  • Does a ratio table have to be in sequential order?
  • Does it matter when to erase during the Problem String?
  • Does it matter when to use brackets or arrows?
  • Can color help highlight relationships?
  • How do you introduce a ratio table?
  • A tool to represent thinking that can lead to new thinking
