Lesson topic: “Hands on Equations”
I was CAPTIVATED by the way that you (or your students)...
- students could be involved in a kinesthetic fashion
- visual representation of algebra
- able to use the same tools to represent different equations
- manipulatives brought learning to life
- could visually see the balance
- takes it from instrumental to relational learning
- makes the abstract algebra concepts concrete
I am CURIOUS about…
- what range of grade levels could use this concept
- how well your students “picked” up the algebra concept using this model
- how do you transfer the knowledge to the next st
- how you choose to use manipulatives in middle school when manipulatives are traditionally reserved for younger students
Through the eyes of my content area:
How could this experience be adapted to fit other contexts or content areas?
- rate of change in science
- balance chemical equations in chemistry
- addition and subtraction in younger students
- square roots
- geometry
Increase the POWER: How could it be extended/made more powerful?
- students create their own problems as opposed to be given a worksheet
- apply to real world problem solving
- 1 minute video lesson
- students make tutorials
