So, many of you may remember that our fourth grade AIG study groups are working with a cool system called Hands-On Equations. This system uses math tools to conceptualize fairly abstract algebraic equations. And, evidently, it’s kind of fun.
At any rate, when I grabbed a random purple marker (at least not a judgmental red one like my teachers used!) I had no idea I would set in place a song and dance craze. A couple of students developed quite an affinity for the checks they received on their work.
Here’s a moment of unbridled joy. All due to a purple marker and algebra!
