Plus, I liked her "Novice" category- at the beginning of some units, students have never heard of the concept, so it was very fitting. I decided to make some posters to hang in the classroom and extend this concept past math class. Here's the result: I am really liking this new format and hope you do, too! Want to get your own copy?
