“The rule for the square of a binomial”: Spotted with a 12th grader Homework on Pearson’s My Math Lab
Should we tell students exactly what to do?
Categorization is one of the most important skills in Math and one of the most important takeaways for future Math classes and in general.
The question above creates teaching and learning questions:
“Should we tell students what to do based on rules?”
“Can students (even) remember rules?”
“What would be the answer to this problem?”
Helping students with homework can be easier with examples rather than rules.
10 times as much as vs. 1/10 of can be clarified by using better numbers:
so we chose 6 as our better number
6 is 10 times as much as 0.6 and 1/10 of 60
Now we know how to answer each column by comparing it to our easy example of 6!!
Notice that 5 has an exclamation point on it. This means factorial so that 5! = 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 120.

The more things change, the more they stay the same.
The new Common Core Algebra II Regents will be supplemented by the old Algebra 2/Trig Regents this June 2016. This new announcement comes on the heels of last week’s news of 2 more administrations of the Integrated Algebra in Feb and June 2016 for seniors. Info on Integrated Algebra Feb 2016 and June 2016.
