There is a lot of collaboration in Easton, Maryland, as grade 3-5 teachers post Multiplicative Big 8 Ideas and map connections from the area model to partial products and then to the standard algorithm. #math#areamodel
Y8 lesson on Expanding. Use the area model without calling it the area model ๐ #algebra#iteachmaths#areamodel Followed up on collecting the products correctly. This gave me X-ray vision for their understanding of like terms. #buildingthinkingclassrooms
Jennifer has 256 beads. Stella has 3 times as many beads as Jennifer. Tia has 104 more beads than Stella. How many beads does Tia have?
S-(Jennifer) 256 S-(Stella) 768 S-(Tia) 872 beads @KetteringSchls ๐ฅ๐ฆ#AreaModel
With the Area Model my students have at least three โdifferentโ ways to expand binomial products. Choose from crab claws, formula or area model! They preferred the area model most. Canโt wait to see how this feeds into factorising quadratics!
