Capturing Quantities has four key components all anchored in helping students engage in SMP #2 and make sense of quantities and relationships in a context.

Here’s an example of using a “Problem Stem” (a prompt with the question removed) from a MAC/MARS task to surface Quantities and Relationships.

Recognizing Repetition also has four key parts, but this routine supports students to look for regularity and patterns and engage in SMP #8.

Here, we used a dot pattern to analyze repetition.

Connecting Representations asks students to study the mathematical structures that allow them to make sense of various equivalent mathematical representations.

Connecting Representations has five key sections, supports students to connect multiple representations of the same quantity, and engage in SMP #7.
