Algebra - Lesson 5

-->

Lesson 5 is about learning how to set up equation by taking away jacks. You do the process of taking away jacks on one side first because it is being asked for (e.g. 2x - x = ....... or ...... = 3x - 2x). After that, you can

Lesson 4 is still Legal Moves, but this time it's for the red dices. Like in Lesson 3, what you do to one side of the balance (see that yellow board where they work on the jacks and dices? the picture is a balance scale.), you do the same to the other side. Take away one red dice on the left side, you take away one red dice on the right side - "take here, take there". Your control of error is that there is always a number value left on one side after taking away (subtraction) the same value from each side.

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

In Lesson 1, the worksheets provided practice equations for its objective which is balancing an equation through trial and error. The children don't have to memorize any formula. Explain to them that equation is

I say welcome, again, to all of you who have reached this page.  Why? Because I consider this stage as a new level of my blogging content.

IT'S BEEN A WHILE...

How long has it been? Nine months? Yeah, about that long.

Long story short - the last months were spent putting up Marion Business School. Now it's time to write the new books for next school year. Almost done now with Algebra workbook and Fractions will definitely follow. ( I think i should post sample pages of those equations.... guess I would.)

Had a couple of days to take a walk (after doctor's appointment and walking to where we parked the car at Beverly Hills (LA) and attended a graduation party (Vegas) in between writing.

 

 

DAY OF BLISS AND GOOD FRIENDS

INDEPENDENCE DAY PARADE IN NEW YORK 2013

It's been awhile since my last post. Just got caught up with a lot of matters-of-consequences.

Yet,  I got the chance now to share a most wonderful and fun experience in the U.S. - Independence Day Parade in New York, June 2, 2013. On-the-Spot choreography for Street Dancing was what I did to GIUSA's parade participation.

Have fun and enjoy watching this short video I put together and the TFC News Feature.
