Tuesday Teacher Tips: Model Drawing
Updated: 2011-08-30 16:00:29
Welcome to the Tuesday Teacher Tips series! Each week we’ll highlight teaching and learning resources, ideas to use in the classroom, as well as things to ponder as you go about your teaching day.
This summer I attended the workshop, “Introduction to Singapore Math Model Drawing,” presented by Susan Midlarsky.
Model drawing is a problem solving technique [...]
My goal in this post is to show you one of the solutions to the equation . In fact, that equation has three solutions – it’s a cubic! – and all three solutions are real. But getting them will require complex numbers. Along the way, we’ll talk briefly about negative numbers and the quadratic equation, [...]

We know that tripling the triangular number 1 yields the triangular number 3. The figure shows how we can use this fact to conclude that tripling the triangular number 15 yields the triangular number 45.
Using this new fact, can you modify the figure to find even larger examples of tripling triangles?

If you’ve been following this blog for a while, you know what this picture implies. When I started drafting this – before noon – I had not yet been advised of a magnitude 7.0 quake that occurred in the Vanuatu region. By noon, however, I had found that my forecast for the month has been [...]
One of my coworkers here at DreamBox came across these fun posters by Brain Candy Toys. The posters take childhood stories and rhymes, and turn them into math equations. Print them and hang them up in yoru home or in your classroom for a fun activity!
Three Blind Mice
Humpty Dumpty
Cinderella
Three Little Pigs
Enjoy!
