iPad App!!
Hello Xtreem Algebros!!
Whilst scouring the app store for iPad apps that make sense to use, I found a couple that are promising. The first is called Planbook:
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/planbook-touch/id387115895?mt=8
It is a daily lesson planner. It allows you to set up a fairly detailed plan and agenda for each day. Also, if you have ever planned ahead, only to have to revise your plan later in the week, Planbook allows you to easily move things around and/or push it back. You can also attach files (you wrote in pages!) or web links to each days plan. It is currently $9.99, but because Sarah and Colleen said don't buy apps before checking with them, I haven't downloaded it. I have the trial on my laptop and will bring it on Saturday to show you guys.
The next one is called Assigner:
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/assigner/id509192482?ls=1&mt=8
I haven't spent much time with this, but from what I've seen, its an app that allows you to post your assignments due dates, and possible points, online for your students and/or parents to access. Along with that, it allows you to attach files from dropbox (more extra iPad integration!) or web links. The cost for this one is $7.99. I realize they are both fairly pricey, but not if Xtreem Algebra helps *nudge nudge Sarah & Colleen*!
Below are the company websites for each of the apps as well.

Incorporating Algebra Habits of Mind
In previous years I taught Algebra and Pre-Algebra. This year I am teaching 7th
Grade Math. It has been critical for me to introduce algebraic thinking to my students
so they will be prepared for the upcoming year. The principal in algebraic thinking I
introduced and they sort of understand is doing and undoing. I will continue this all year long.
