My Fall in Love with Algebra Bulletin Board

January 29, 2013 By fancyfreein4th

I was talking with some of my colleagues in the teacher’s lounge about updating our classroom bulletin boards and we all shared a common problem- making a Math bulletin board is difficult. Well… challenge accepted. Check out my C-U-T-E Algebra Bulletin Board.

My Broken Heart Equation and Variable activity from my Fall in Love with Algebra set was the perfect solution to my math bulletin board dilemma!

After reviewing my Algebra posters of rules and definitions, they worked in partners to solve the equations and find the matching variable that made their equation true.  They colored the matching broken heart pieces before they cut them out

Sorry it is blurry- iphone photograph fail 🙂
Next, they cut out the matching heart pieces and glued them together:

They worked really well together and loved the tactile take on solving algebraic equations.  If you are interested in this great activity pack, pick it up here at my TpT store! It is chalked full of activities and teaching tools to help reinforce Algebra.

There’s so much advice I would tell first year- There’s so much advice I would tell first year- teacher-me…. Especially after the last (almost) 2 years of teaching; barely afloat. This year is so hard. I have to stop regularly and tell my student teacher, “it’s never been like this”. But to my core, it’s always been- children first, relationships first, or nothing else matters. Though this year is tough in new ways, there’s still much hope and laughter each day. Thanks @eveleon26 for reminding me of my first, wonderful year of teaching- so I can bring that energy, excitement each day- no matter the circumstance. For all of my teacher friends out there, I see you- I know it’s hard- and I’m grateful for you. (P.S-it’s almost winter break, you got this!) #tiredteacher #cleareyesfullheartscantlose
