Given y=(x-1)(x+1)(x+1). How many roots does it have? How many zeroes? How many x-intercepts? Do you draw any distinctions amongst these? #iteachmath #mtechat Preservice teachers want to know!
Math Game Monday: The Partitions Game - This game features the Cuisenaire rods, but you may play with any math manipulative based on length: Montessori bead chains, Mortensen or Math-U-See blocks, etc. Or draw pictures on graph paper.
Start your week with this #yohaku. Fill in cells with 9 different factors of 444 to get totals shown in each row/column. #mathsky #iTeachMath
