I will be doing the concrete Models check-up
ReplyDeleteI am not 100% but I think I am going to use the Algeblocks to model solving equations for my struggling students!
ReplyDeleteI will be doing the fundraising activity. It lines up perfectly with what my districts curriculum is doing next!
ReplyDeleteI will be using the tiles to solve equations.
ReplyDeleteI will complete Solving with Concrete Models with my kiddos this week.
ReplyDeleteMy Students will be doing the piggy bank and the Fundraising activity
ReplyDeleteI can't decide between Balance Task and Piggy bank. I am leaning towards piggy bank for the ease of already having Algebra Tiles.
ReplyDeleteI am going to use the balance scales, by modeling it in class and then assigning it for homework.
ReplyDeleteI am going to do the Fund Raising pages.
ReplyDeleteI am going to use the lesson the lesson that Dr. Pratt showed on balancing! I hope it works!
ReplyDeleteI am going to use Balance Tasks with my students
ReplyDeleteI will be using the Balance Tasks activity with my students this coming week. I think that it will be a great opportunity to help my students grasp such a difficult concept.
ReplyDeleteI will be using Dr. Pratt's Balancing blocks.
ReplyDeleteI will be using the algeblocks sentences mat in my class. Balancing equations!!!
ReplyDeleteUsing Concrete Models Check Up and/or Solving with Concrete Models
ReplyDeleteI will be using the Piggy Bank lesson, the algebra mat, and the fundraising activity

ReplyDeleteThe balance task activity is great manipulative to show my students how it is represented!
ReplyDeleteOn the factoring lesson, I plan to use the lessons we covered later in the year when we cover that in my Algebra class. I took notes on what we did, and I have used some of these concepts in my class. I really enjoyed the lesson and look forward to using these concepts in my centers as well as tutoring after school.
ReplyDeleteI felt that the Algebraic Habits of Mind that applied to the lesson was Alge
The balance task is a must for my students to understand the basic concepts.
ReplyDeleteCurrently I am teaching Exponential Functions. During the week of July 23-27, 2012, we did the Endangered Species activity that modeled the decline of a species such as the Panda Bear (i.e. the skittles lab) and the Paper Folding Activity. I decided to do the Endangered Species Lab as well as the Paper Folding Lab with my Mathematical Modeling with Application students.
ReplyDeleteWhat is Mathematical Modeling with Application? It is a course that offers a review of Algebra 1 and Geometry to students that struggled Algebra 1 and Geometry their first go round prior to entering Algebra 2. In addition, the course offer a introduction to some Algebra 2 topics so that students feel confident and successful in Algebra 2.
I have already used the algebra tiles to teach the balancing activity to my students when we were solving basic and multi-step equations.
