Algebra Worksheets - Lesson 3

                   

So in Lesson 3, what the children will learn is that there is what you call in HOE (which I call Hands-On Algebra, by the way) as Legal Move - Jacks. what it means is that whenever you do something to one side, you do the same to the other side. Say, if you take away a jack from one side, you take away the same
quantity of jack from the other side. (Subtraction Property of Equality. But you don't tell them this because for sure they will just stare at you with mouth half open. Huh????)

Again, infuse a little story there. Translate words into words AND actions. Make it inter-active. Spends a little more time but, hey, a little laugh in class goes a long, long, way. You will give them the opportunity to ask questions (if they will have a little challenge understanding it) like in play mode.

 

Will give you Lesson 4 soon.

    <= This one is the kit that you could use with the worksheets here (while my kits are still in production stage). The set using jack stones (the one referred here is my modification as I find it more playful and amusing)  will be out soon.
