Reply To: Lesson 9-1: Consolidating What We've Learned – Discussion

My own understanding has definitely grown, especially with understanding all the definitions and the difference between things like rate, rational reasoning and scaling in tandem. Also, since I don’t spend a lot of time teaching grade 5 and beyond, building my understanding of where kids are headed has helped me better understand how I can solidify their early understanding of proportional reasoning. I still need to break it down some more, especially while looking at standards and appropriate tasks in order to develop and build their understanding at appropriate rates of understanding.
