We started our Hands On Algebra (HOA) unit in class yesterday. This is a unit where students will build equations and solve them. On Monday we reviewed what students learned last year. Today we introduced (to some it was a review) the white pawn and discussed the idea of white and blue pawns (also called "x" and "star" are opposites).
HOA work is done at school. The kits do not go home. If students need extra time to finish daily work, we will arrange for that to happen at school. Here is a website to check out if you'd like more information.
