Reply To: Lesson 4-6: Question

[Victoria Murphy]

I will use pictures of fast food items to represent large orders and then how to “make the orders easier” by combining similar items. If those pictures are not available, we could also use manipulatives from the elementary schools such as the small bears, cubes, etc. We can then represent that idea similarly with geometric shapes on the mathigon polypad and then represent those shapes, foods, items with letters (variables). The goal being to combine like terms.
