I'm ever so slowly trying to add to my Algebra 1 activities collection. I've worked on it here and there over the last year or so. I really want to flesh it out this summer.
I enjoy having my kids work through activities in class. I want to hear them talk about the math and make connections together. Sure, they need independent work too, but I like to spend most of their time working in class collaborating. One of my solutions to combining the two - independent work and collaboration - is partner problems. The kids work in partners. Each student has different problems, but the answers should be the same. Then if they don't agree, they can go back and work together to figure out where the mistake occurred.
I just added compound inequality problems to my collection of partner problems.
I still have so many more topics to cover. Little by little I'll reach a full range of Algebra 1 topics! What do you think I'm missing?
