Integers

I learned something new today.  Who could have guessed that little blue and red bingo chips could bring math to life the way that Mike did today.  He did an awesome job of taking the rules out of the game and getting deeper into the knowledge of why positives and negatives work the way that they do.  The lessons continually improved throughout the day.  I really appreciated the opportunity to collaborate with both Sandie and Mike on how to make the lesson better and bring out the "5's" and even a "6" on fist to five today.  Go Team!!!!

  1. Thanks, Mark! Your idea of having them actually work together instead of me just demonstrating really helped bring it to life even more, not to mention break the mold of a standard classroom to breathe new air into it all! It was an incredible experience, I'm learning so much from all of you - how to do all this in the first place from Sandie, and how to perfect the execution slowly but surely from all of you.
