Then, afterwards their mobile was checked past times me, they recreated it using construction paper (affiliate link)s as well as circle stickers (affiliate link)s.


Here were the finished results:






























Sticky Note Mobiles inward Math Concepts

I'm dorsum to cleaning out onetime draft posts.  Today, the invention is to portion almost a viscid banker's complaint challenge I issued my math concepts students.  At my school, math concepts is a shape for freshman that are non however railroad train for Algebra 1.  The puzzles inwards this ship service were taken from the Transition to Algebra curriculum.


Students were placed inwards pairs too given 4 viscid notes amongst the 4 values (example: 80, 81, 38, too 39) written on them amongst marker.  Each span stood inwards front end of a hand-drawn mobile on the dry out erase board.  When I told them to go, they had to decide how to house viscid notes on the mobiles too then both sides would endure equal.  


This sparked a lot of awesome conversation betwixt the students inwards each pair.  Students were bespeak each other to justify their placements, too it was a beautiful sight to behold!


Even better, nosotros had a slap-up conversation after almost helpful strategies to solving


Looking dorsum at this action now, I'm right away wondering how I could practise a similar action inside the Algebra 1 curriculum.  Any ideas?  The alone stance I've had too then far is to brand mobiles that require students to combine similar terms.
