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

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?
