Math might not be as fun as art or sports, or as cool as robotics and science, but it’s still pretty awesome! Students need to stop thinking of math as something that they will only use in the classroom. Math is used everywher..
We’ve asked algebra teachers what skills they wish their students were better at coming into Algebra class. Their answers were always the same 3 skills: Multiplication facts, Fractions, and Integers. So why are kids universally weak in these 3 areas?
So, let’s say we are trying to figure out -3 + -4. We start at -3. Then we need to add, which usually means we get bigger. But we are adding a negative number, so we do the opposite. This means we are actually getting smaller by 4 so we end up at -7. (See the graphic for example)
