Algebra links from Didax Education. |
Fall is finally here! We kicked off the week with a round of mini-stations for the 8th graders. We figured we might as well join in on the candy season and incorporate it into a station. The 8th graders worked on replacement with variables and order of operations by using M&M's to determine variables. They used algebra tiles/links from Didax Education to play a domino-like game. Lastly, they used formulas to practice substituting variables. I know I sound like a broken record when I say how easily stations are to set up with our rolling tables and chairs, however, IT IS JUST SO EASY! We save so much time setting up stations and it is super easy for us to transition from 8th grade to 7th grade in the three minutes that the students have to change classes.
M&M substitution - everyone needs a little chocolate now and then. |
