The third graders are learning algebra using our Hands On Equations kits. These are videos that were made after one of our earlier lessons, before they started learning the legal moves. The kids will have to make new videos with their new understanding. They love it as much as I do and we are almost done with Level 1. Next come the verbal problems, which are also a lot of fun.
I like that this makes math visible and that they have a system to self-check their answers.
