Edit
Before nosotros started translating betwixt words in addition to algebraic expressions, equations, in addition to inequalities, I decided to figure out what my students remembered close this procedure from previous math classes.
I created a nautical chart to locomote printed on 11 x 17 menu stock (affiliate link).
I printed ane nautical chart for each tabular array group. Then, I slid each canvass of menu stock into ane of my 11 x 17 dry out erase pockets (affiliate link).
After nosotros finished our quiz on the distributive property, I had students grouping upwards in addition to write every bit many words to hateful each symbol every bit possible.
At first, most groups alone wrote ane discussion inwards each box. I had to continually re-emphasize that I wanted them to come upwards up alongside every bit many dissimilar words or phrases for each symbol every bit possible.
After groups worked for a few minutes in addition to seemed to locomote coming to a stopping point, I started throwing out phrases in addition to quest them to write them inwards the right box.
For example, I would tell something similar "Did whatever grouping role the discussion sum? Good! If y'all didn't, verbalize over inwards your grouping which box y'all should add together the discussion amount to."
The groups were ever super excited when I called out a discussion that they had already idea of earlier I mentioned it!
This was a nifty means for me to informally assess where my students stood alongside translating earlier nosotros ever started the topic.
There were a few words that tripped upwards my students every hour. As I circulated around the room, I overheard several heated debates close the discussion "product." Some students insisted that production meant multiply. Others insisted that a production was the respond to a multiplication problem. Since it was an answer, it must hateful the equal sign.
I spotted many of my students referencing my math symbols posters on the wall which made me super happy! You tin download a laid for your classroom here!
It's in addition to hence interesting to report these answers inwards to a greater extent than item from the pictures that I took every bit nosotros completed the activity. In the painting demonstrate below, "product", "quotient", in addition to "sum" accept all been placed the the box for =. However, "product" is also included nether multiplication. "Quotient" in addition to "sum" accept non been placed elsewhere. This grouping has also made an fault inwards classifying "difference" every bit division.
If I'm honest, my students got into this activity WAY to a greater extent than than I expected. They were super lamentable when I made them erase their answers in addition to pose the dry out erase pockets away.
Here are a few to a greater extent than activeness shots because I'm plainly incapable of taking only a "few" photos during class...
