How Multiple Representations Tell the Story of Math

In today’s advanced math classrooms, rigor is accessed through multiple representations. Join this dynamic edWebinar designed for AP and Honors math teachers who want to help students see mathematics—not just compute it.

We explore how the four pillars of mathematical excellence—symbolic, graphical, numerical, and verbal reasoning—open multiple pathways for learning and engagement. Discover instructional strategies that reveal the story behind the math, empower diverse learners to think more deeply, and strengthen conceptual understanding.

Equip your students not only to master content, but to connect, communicate, and own their mathematical thinking as well as demonstrate that learning on their AP exams. This recorded edWebinar is of interest to high school and AP/Honors math teachers and curriculum coordinators, computer science and CTE educators, principals, and district leaders.
