Reply To: Lesson 4-6: Question

I am already thinking about how I can use this model to work towards distributive property in algebra. As a grade 9 math teacher in Ontario I am struggling to make lessons with a low enough floor and still challenge students who have a good grasp of the underlying skills already. I feel like no matter what approach I take I am failing a group of students by either not challenging them enough or going over their heads and in both scenarios I lose their attention.
