I tried downloading the files and a lot of the graphics don't show up correctly.

Thanks. One activity that I do that...Great stuff! Thanks. One activity that I do that seems to work well is to play "merry go round" - I put the kids in groups at stations around the room. They have to solve a system by the method of their choice (graphing, subs. or elimination). When everybody's ready, they all rotate to the next station. They'll see the work that the previous group did, and then they have to solve the problem a different way. We keep rotating until each problem is solved all 3 ways. This helps them see that each method will find the same answer. (I also use this for solving multi-step equations, having groups solve one step at a time and rotating until the problem is completely solved)Mrs. Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03694059020332492563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30226356.post-91997592359091173112010-02-14T11:19:31.345-08:002010-02-14T11:19:31.345-08:00I share in your joy about moving beyond the basics...I share in your joy about moving beyond the basics and also about break! I too, used the mini-white boards and had students working solutions using different methods. It really helps to form connections between the methods. I'm enjoying your blog and like all the materials you so willingly share.

And I feel such pride when I look out and see them using their graphing skills, their solving equation skills, and even their calculator skills. When I get to systems, I know the end is near and they are almost ready to go on to the next course.Kim Hugheyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14765229714690518433noreply@blogger.com
