I heard some really interesting conversation and some good arguing (gotta love a good math argument!). Thanks!!<br /><br />I took to heart what you said about the students wanting to use the Real Number diagram. So I went to my local Dollar Tree and bought a bunch of different sized bowls. Then, students used post-it notes to label them. That way I could just buy 6 sets of bowls (for each group) and save some money. Here's a link to some pictures:<br />https://twitter.com/efmsroom227/status/778731853838626816<br /><br />I also did a card sort where they put different numbers into different sections. I think the model really helped them!

I just started my first year teaching at a small school, and I teach calc, pre-calc, algebra II, and Applied math. I am so excited to find so many hands on activities and great ways of explaining math on your website. Thank you for being an awesome teacher!Alexis Willistonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1091979517567705761.post-73152138499849038462015-09-08T08:46:36.494-05:002015-09-08T08:46:36.494-05:00What a great idea!

I've seen others use aluminum cans, as well.

I didn't have enough boxes to recycle, so I went to the dollar store, and bought various sizes of the aluminum baking pans. I was playing around with different sizes in the store to make sure they would stack how I wanted, and I was able to make it work. I'm not going to cover them entirely, yet, but I will color coordinate them and write on them to use this week.
