Oohs and Aahs

Just a brief note to share today. As part of this new math curriculum, my students were introduced to a formula triangle which acts as a visual aid to unlock the formula (problem). Why didn't we have this in math class? Maybe then I would have enjoyed it more. Anyhow, I showed them how and then let them have it.. It was awesome to hear the oohs and aahs as their brilliant minds were churning (some even had smoke coming out). Moments like that make it worth the drive and bs that comes with teaching..

Still breathing and clicking..
