Hey @desmos community - any cool activities for introducing how to solve basic 1-step algebraic equations?

[Jeff Stephanoff @stephajeff]

@brandon_edu Just did! Awesome 🤙

[Jeff Stephanoff @stephajeff]

@brandon_edu I wanna join!

@_georgiegirl_ @Dean_of_math 'Building Tjinking Classrooms' by @pgliljedahl is EXACTLY what you're looking for. No doubt in my mind. Great #thinkingclassroom online community as well.

[Jeff Stephanoff @stephajeff]

@sergeballif @Desmos This is really cool!

[Jeff Stephanoff @stephajeff]

@mmestairs @OCDSB @pgliljedahl @ntowaij @emily_k_wagner Awesome! I've wondered about this... makes sense 🙃

[Jeff Stephanoff @stephajeff]

@ntowaij @pgliljedahl Woah! Nice 😎

[Jeff Stephanoff @stephajeff]

@ntowaij @pgliljedahl How can I get some wipebooks??

[Jeff Stephanoff @stephajeff]

Just a note: I think what's kinda cool here was that some of the answers on the left side of the board were actually incorrect - some of the students intuitively started making tables and learning from their mistakes. Awesome

[Jeff Stephanoff @stephajeff]

This just makes me smile. The time we've put into problem solving as a #ThinkingClassroom has made me look at teaching in a whole new way 🙃

@Deborah_maths @mathsteacher09 That is ... yes please!

[Jeff Stephanoff @stephajeff]

@Deborah_maths @mathsteacher09 Ditto that 🙃

[Jeff Stephanoff @stephajeff]

#ThinkingClassroom #mtbos Needed a non-curricular day. Glad we did! This was a surprisingly challenging activity for my class - but they stuck with it 👊also used it to introduce the Math practice of making use of structure - nice modeling !

@SonaliPillai @CAMathCouncil @pgliljedahl True... a LOT to be said about just being able to estimate. Good point!

[Jeff Stephanoff @stephajeff]

@mtd1969 @pgliljedahl That's what I'm asking about- lesson is 'Decimal Division' - want to make something interactive, but can't find an @Desmos or other online activity. Thinking about something around selling a product and splitting the profits.

Just seeing if somethings already out there.

[Jeff Stephanoff @stephajeff]

@joshgiesbrecht @pgliljedahl Yeah! I was thinking that relating it to measuring something might work. Thanks for the tip 🤙

[Jeff Stephanoff @stephajeff]

@hctowns @pgliljedahl I am not... sweet, I'll check it out. Thank you!

[Jeff Stephanoff @stephajeff]

@MsRChanner Cool! Thank you :) gonna take a look at this and re-word a bit (got A Lot of ELs!)
