Killing Cats Poster

My Algebra 2 kids are working alongside rational expressions.  I'm pretty certain it's my to the lowest degree favorite topic to instruct inwards the world.  It's tedious, too it's a nightmare for my students who haven't fully mastered factoring.  My students stimulate got traditionally struggled alongside remembering that they tin solely cancel factors too non terms.  I started fighting against this a dyad of years agone past times telling my students that every fourth dimension they canceled out terms, a kitten died.

Rational Functions - Every fourth dimension yous produce this, a kitten dies.

I originally establish this on Math Curmudgeon.  There's a whole fix of pictures of dissimilar animals dying for diverse mutual math mistakes.  You should definitely follow the link!

I've blogged close using this inwards a lesson earlier here.  

This year, to construct anticipation too provoke curiosity, I hung this poster upward inwards my classroom a dyad of weeks earlier our unit of measurement on rationals.  Of course, my Algebra 1 kiddos ended upward bespeak the most questions close it, too I had to explicate that it was an Algebra 2 thing.  They abhor when I say them that something is for approximately other class.


I brand a actually big bargain whenever somebody kills a truthful cat too I stimulate got to modify the count.  And, the kids are ever watching to brand certain I accurately update the count each day.

Here's the file if yous desire to play along.

And, for the record, 2 truthful cat posts inwards a row is only a coincidence.  Promise.
