Fall in Love with Algebra!

January 21, 2013 By fancyfreein4th

I am soooo excited to share this wonderful set of Valentine’s Day themed algebra practice.  Algebra can be really difficult for some kids because of the abstract thinking that is needed. My Fall in Love with Algebra set has several activities to teach and reinforce basic algebra concepts in a variety of ways.

Here is what is included:

4 Definition Posters

             Algebraic Expression, Inverse Operation, Algebraic Equation, Variable

2 Algebra Rule Posters with examples:

Algebra Terms Foldable that is great for their math notebook or to review!
Algebra Review Game with 20 algebraic equations, 1 game board, 1 spinner
GREAT for review or center work!

Broken Heart Algebra Match Up Activity
 Your students will LOVE matching up the correct variable with its algebraic equation- 12 in total!

and 8 algebra word problem questions

   You can get this pack on sale now here at my TpT store for this week only AND for a little pinning fun I will email this set to the first 2 commenters who pin this. Just leave me your email and a link to the pin on Pinterest!

While the phrase, ā€œOpen schoolsā€ bothers me be While the phrase, ā€œOpen schoolsā€ bothers me because it minimizes the HUGE lengths that teachers have gone through this past year. Where we, in a split moment, closed our classrooms and said goodbye to our students not knowing how this was going to play out. No matter whether we are teaching virtually, hybrid or even in a social distanced format...school has never been closed. Teachers went from being called heroes šŸ¦øā€ā™€ļø a year ago to being strongly criticized and undervalued. I am so proud and inspired by all of my teacher friends who have had to reinvent the wheel this year. I am so relieved that this is the first step back to the classroom setting where the students will continue to learn, flourish and be like ā€œthe good ole daysā€. Dose one done āœ…. One step closer to being back in the classroom, IRL!
Spending this lazy Sunday afternoon writing šŸ’•Va Spending this lazy Sunday afternoon writing šŸ’•Valentine’s to my students. I am writing different figurative language notes on each postcard. Then we are going to share them on GoogleMeets during our morning meeting and vote which figurative language is on each student’s post card! You can take the teacher out of the classroom but they will still find ways to engage; no matter the distance! This year I have to mail these to my students ((because of distance learning)) but who doesn’t love some good ole snail mail 🐌 šŸ’Œ.
This isn’t the best picture, but that’s not th This isn’t the best picture, but that’s not the point...

I love being a teacher. I am aways challenged and get to be creative (especially these past 11 months). I feel at home at my school, and I’ve missed it so much since working at home. My district is in a zip code that is highly impacted with COVID-19, and we have felt the effects tremendously. Everyday, I am amazed by how resilient my students have been since their little world’s šŸŒ changed on March 13th, 2020. It’s been one, wild ride, reinventing teaching, trying to stay motivated, trying to keep them engaged while feeling supported and seen. Yet,  I’m hopeful this chapter soon will end. Amidst all of the unexpected and difficult things that have happened this last year... there’s still a lot of good out there. Look at this šŸ’› glimmer of hope and goodness. My uncle and Father in Law just made a class set of desks for my students (plus 30 more for other kids at my school). They used their stimulus money to give back to my school community. This desk will be their own special spot, and memory of the time we learned from home. I’m feeling really grateful and I can’t wait to see past the masks and imagine the smiles that my students will have when they pick these new family heirlooms up on Friday!
Sometimes it is all about the little goals you mak Sometimes it is all about the little goals you make for 2021. Ones like drinking more water and making sure to stand while distance teaching. I miss the days of walking around the classroom, running down the the stairs to grab my class after recess and hopping into a coworkers classroom at lunch.
Cheers to the New Year. I felt like I needed a lon Cheers to the New Year. I felt like I needed a longer winter break but as soon as the school day started, it was game on. I was so excited to see my students online, ready to learn. I am constantly in awe of how resilient they are and how even though we have yet to be together in person, we have created such a supportive and close community. We giggle, we work, we do the best we can and feel good about it together.
