Online The middle grades are an important time for students to deepen and extend their understanding of numbers and operations. As students work with fractions, decimals, and integers and begin to reason with ratios, rates, and proportional relationships, they have opportunities to make powerful connections across mathematics.
In this interactive workshop, participants will experience research-informed, mindset-rich approaches that invite students to notice patterns, visualize ideas, make connections, and share different ways of thinking. We will explore operations with fractions, decimals, and integers, along with proportional reasoning, ratios, rates, and the expanding number system, including irrational numbers.
Throughout the workshop, participants will explore ways to move beyond rules and procedures by engaging students in reasoning, making connections, and making sense of the mathematics. Visual and creative approaches help students see relationships between ideas, develop flexible strategies, and build confidence in their own mathematical thinking.
These middle-grades ideas provide an important bridge to algebra. When students have opportunities to reason, make connections, and approach problems in different ways, they develop a stronger foundation for the more abstract mathematics that comes next.
Participants will leave with practical activities and strategies they can use to create engaging mathematics classrooms that invite students to be curious, take risks, make connections, and see themselves as capable and creative mathematics learners.

Workshop Accordions (Online)
All registered participants will receive a Zoom link and password by email at least one week before the workshop and the day before the workshop.
After the event, we’ll send a follow-up email to all participants, even those who couldn’t attend live, with a recording and other workshop resources. This recording will remain available for one year following the event.
Each participant must join the workshop from their own device with the Zoom link we will provide. If you wish to register multiple people from the same school or district, please use the “Get Tickets” button to create a group order. During checkout, you’ll provide each attendee’s name and email so they can receive individual access.
Yes. Participants in youcubed virtual workshops receive Professional Development Hours (PDHs), verified by a certificate of completion emailed after the event. As a general guideline, 10 PDHs are typically considered equivalent to 1 Continuing Education Unit (CEU), though this may vary by institution.
PDHs are awarded by Youcubed, which is part of Stanford University. Please note that PDHs and CEUs cannot be applied toward any Stanford University degree. The transfer or acceptance of PDHs or CEUs is at the discretion of the receiving institution or organization.
All sales are final, but we understand that unexpected situations can come up. If you’d like to request a refund or transfer of ticket, please email pdinfo@youcubed.org with a brief explanation. While we can’t guarantee a refund, we’ll review your request thoughtfully and get back to you as soon as possible.
