      The Algebra Tiles would be a nice tool to have students explore the distributive property. I like the way it is set up because it leads to students begin thinking about how things are factored, which can be hard for students to understand

      I like both of the balance scales. I really like how they have one that involves negatives while the other does not. Students have a hard time understanding how negative numbers fit into solving equations and I think this could help them. I might use this is the launch for a discussion amoung the students

    • Celeste Sisson
       
      This is a lab activity that I can use in my course to introduce students to linear functions. At this time, I am contemplating whether to use it as an in-class activity or having it that the place of a video for a lecture and become a lesson that is discovery for students to use on their own.
