“If you can, use a knife” — powerful tools make a difference @MsHelft on her beliefs about mathematics. “Simple, versatile, hard to forget how to use, power is in how you use it.” #NCTMCHI24 #NCTM @KnowlesTeachers

A story table is a table where we tell the whole story. You can start at the beginning, middle or end. @MsHelft #NCTMCHI24 #NCTM

I would love to hear all the ways you think about it! It has been new for me to think about since becoming a curriculum developer.

That is what I've done!

Hi! Whoa. That is a fascinating strategy. I just find that if I don't do a=1 as special then I don't have the problem where all of students' rules break down!

Love algebra tiles here! I just always did that with things like 2x^2+5x+3 at the same time.

Math Internet. Do you teach students to factor with a=1 first and then a>1? For the last several years I have invited students to just use the area model and puzzle it out without diatinguishing the cases. Now I'm finding out that that was unusual. #MTBoS what say you?

From a friend: allergy covers for your pillows. They go between the pillow and the pillowcase.
