~~Playing Math~~


Thank you, 
and Math U See 
for the inspiration and instruction....

Here, they are building polynomials.
Build a rectangle and the find the area (product):
(X+4)(X+5)
Yes, they are having FUN doing algebra.
Who wouldn't?

They solved this problem on their own using the blocks. 

(X+7)(X+3)= 
X^2 + 10X + 21
Watch this algebra lesson from Crewton Ramone's House of Math...

The girls created atoms out of beads, 
pipe cleaners and string.
 

Homework for next week: 
What do the numbers represent on the periodic table?
Can you explain the pattern?
