Middle School MPIR's (by Strand)

A collection of Middle School Mathematically Productive Instructional Routines. Organized by strand, with most appropriate at multiple grade level. Templates so that you can create your own available at the bottom of the collection! Tremendous thanks and inspiration from the following website resources: Estimation 180: https://estimation180.com/ Visual Patterns: https://www.visualpatterns.org/ WODB: https://wodb.ca/ Identical collection organized by the type of activity: https://teacher.desmos.com/collection/61ecc221f30fdf5269014f2a I am always looking for feedback, requests, and/or ideas for additional tasks!
