“If you can, use a knife” — powerful tools make a difference @MsHelft on her beliefs about mathematics. “Simple, versatile, hard to forget how to use, power is in how you use it.” #NCTMCHI24#NCTM@KnowlesTeachers

Math Internet. Do you teach students to factor with a=1 first and then a>1? For the last several years I have invited students to just use the area model and puzzle it out without diatinguishing the cases. Now I'm finding out that that was unusual. #MTBoS what say you?
@Martyclarke14 Hi! Whoa. That is a fascinating strategy. I just find that if I don't do a=1 as special then I don't have the problem where all of students' rules break down!
