Structures of Equality by Julie Russo

Making sense of math stories. Structures of Equality is a reading comprehension tool to enhance students' understanding of number stories. By using 3 logical structures adaptable to any elementary problem, you'll equip all students with the confidence and critical thinking skills to successfully and independently solve problems. 

These videos are designed to help provide you with actionable steps so you can begin to successfully implement the structures in your classroom.

My mission is to empower elementary math teachers and leaders with the reading comprehension tools students need to independently tackle number stories. We provide free and low-cost professional development, including virtual and in-person training and coaching support.

My vision is Equitable access to meaningful mathematics. Classrooms across the globe will use Structures of Equality to model relationships within number stories, and engage in rich conversations around their structure.
