In particular, the lesson will help teachers identify and help students who have the following difficulties: making sense of a real life situation and deciding on the math to apply to the problem; solving quadratic equations by taking square roots, completing the square, using the quadratic formula, and factoring; and interpreting results in the context of a real life situation. Mathematics and Statistics 2013-04-26T15:06:37 Course Related Materials http://www.oercommons.org/courses/steps-to-solving-equations This lesson unit is intended to help teachers assess how well students are able to: form and solve linear equations involving factorizing and using the distributive law. In particular, this unit aims to help teachers identify and assist students who have difficulties in: using variables to represent quantities in a real-world or mathematical problem and solving word problems leading to equations of the form px + q = r and p(x + q) = r. Mathematics and Statistics 2013-04-26T15:06:34 Course Related Materials http://www.oercommons.org/courses/student-generated-questions-for-exam-prep Math teacher Jennifer Giudice takes a unique approach to preparing her students for their upcoming assessment. She assigns her students a homework assignment that requires them to develop 2 possible assessment questions. She uses these questions to both determine where different students are at in their understanding of quadratics and also to select questions that help her best assess their level of understanding.Ms. Giudice shares a few of the questions the following day and asks students to consider what they need to do to prepare for each of the questions. Mathematics and Statistics 2013-02-26T16:56:31 Course Related Materials http://www.oercommons.org/courses/algebra-team-teacher-collaboration Algebra teachers, Juliana Jones and Marlo Warburton, have common philosophies and expectations in their algebra classrooms but use their own unique teaching styles and structures to create consistent experiences for students. Collaboration is an important part of that process and allows teachers to provide common learning experiences in their classrooms despite different teaching styles and structures. This video takes a look at the warm-up, lesson, strategies for group work, classroom expectations and routines to discuss commonalities but also identify ways in which each teacher personalizes their classrooms based on their own teaching style and personality.

She quickly sorts through them, and from the wrong answers chooses her "favorite no." She and her kids then analyze what's right about the solution before delving in to what the writer doesn't understand that led them to answer incorrectly.

The Factor Game engages students in a friendly contest in which winning strategies involve distinguishing between numbers with many factors and numbers with few factors. Students are then guided through an analysis of game strategies and introduced to the definitions of prime and composite numbers. Mathematics and Statistics 2012-09-07T13:53:35 Course Related Materials http://www.oercommons.org/courses/difference-of-squares-2 This lesson uses a series of related arithmetic experiences to prompt students to generalize into more abstract ideas. In particular, students explore arithmetic statements leading to a result that is the factoring pattern for the difference of two squares. An excellent teaching idea on how to help students walk the bridge from arithmetic to algebra.
