Super excited to share these resources with you today after all the amazing feedback from twitter. Last week I shared a photo of my newest dry erase template that I use to help guide students through the elimination process and I got so many great responses that I had to put this at the top of my list to blog about. Over the years I have seen that students really struggle with solving systems of equations by elimination. When teaching I try to find a process that will be consistent so students can repeat the same steps and eventually remember how to solve a particular problem. There are definitely faster ways to solve the systems than I teach them but this process works for all the problems if they are in standard form. I have students focus only on eliminating the x's even if the y's look easier. Once they understand the process I then tell them about finding shortcuts. So if we focus on eliminating the x's first I tell them the coefficient has to have the exact same number but different signs so that the x's cancel out to zero and disappear. We practice flipping the coefficients and then multiplying to essential have the same coefficient for the x's. Then I ask them if they already have different signs. If they do then we go into the elimination step. If they do not I tell them to ONLY multiply the TOP equation by a negative. Before we go into the entire process I practice just determining what to multiply each equation by to solve. So I created a card sort activity to practice that. Remember that I am focusing on the x's. If you do not do it this way then you will probably find these resources need to be modified to fit your needs. Here are the notes I start with to teach this topic. We focus on the rule part at the top for a little while then finally move to actually solving the equations at the bottom once I feel like they understand what we need to multiply by to eliminate one of the variables. Here is the card sort activity that I use to help reinforce what they must multiply by to have the x's eliminate. You may notice that many of the problems have the same numbers in the front of each equation. I purposely did that because I wanted to force the students to really have to think about what they needed to multiply by and not just match up the numbers. Most of my card sorts I try to do this. I find similar problems that have only a few changes so they really have to focus on the rules and steps of a concept. Like factoring trinomials for example, I try to make sure that other trinomials share a common factor and also make sure 3 or 4 trinomials all start with the same coefficient so it isn't easy to just match up by multiplying the first two parts of each factor. Here is the dry erase template that I use to practice solving systems of linear equations by elimination. ***Update*** I totally forgot about the truths & lies activity that I made for elimination. I love this activity because it focuses on students having to find mistakes and fix those problems. Hope you guys find these resources helpful.

I've always found that little learners love write-n-wipe style dry erase marker activities. We have a huge and growing range of these fun, easy-to-prep center activities for your classroom! Activity cards for little learners Besides the novelty of using a marker, they appeal to a child's need for immediacy. From a pedagogy point of view, I like them as a bridge between concrete and abstract. Use them as task cards If 'write and wipe' is not your style, you could always use such cards as 'task cards' and simply have your students use them as a visual prompt for writing their answer on a recording sheet. Use them with equipment and play dough They are also perfectly suited for use with play dough and small equipment, like buttons and counters. Draw more, Add more! We've put together a set that is perfect for early math. Students will add more items to complete a set. Essentially, your students are working on early addition skills through counting and adding more. As each card is completed, you will notice students counting and re-counting several times to check their work and understanding. This continued and repetitive counting all helps to develop a strong beginning in number. The set includes 6 packs! Here is a sneaky peek: Draw more apples Draw more flowers Draw more gum Draw more hair draw more raindrops draw more spots For more formal addition lessons, I have also listed "Caterpillar Count On Cards" that will assist in using a number line to solve addition. Here is a free download for you to help support this learning in your classroom. Students can draw more apples on each tree to complete the total. Find it in Google Drive HERE

It’s Bright Ideas time!

With this beautiful grass texture list I will extend my collections of free textures. These are free high res textures that can be used in so many creative ways. I have tried to add to the list all kinds of textures. So if you are looking for green grass, dead grass, tall grass, dry grass and so on, you will probably find it on my list. I was also trying to find some quality seamless grass textures but I wasn't lucky enough to find them. If you have such an useful link please add it on our comments section. Enjoy!

It's never too early to start teaching our little ones about the importance of recycling. Help them learn which items they use in everyday life can be recycled and which ones go in the regular trash. Earth Day Recycling Worksheet Answer Key We have provided four versions of the worksheet. Two versions contain a soda cup, which is a little bit more challenging because while many people might think they can be recycled, these 'waxy' paper to-go cups typically cannot be. In the other two versions, we replaced the soda cup with an egg shell, which is much more cut and dry. Also, on two of the worksheets we have replaced the word 'garbage' with 'landfill' because it can be helpful to think about exactly where our trash is going. Regardless of which worksheet(s) you choose to use, we hope they will initiate good classroom discussion about recycling and taking care of our planet. Simply print out a copy of the worksheet for each student and have them cut out the objects at the bottom. There are 6 objects that go in the garbage/landfill and 6 objects that can be recycled. Items included are: an apple core, bag of chips, water bottle, banana peel, metal can, jelly jar, soda can, glass bottles, stack of newspapers, chicken leg, light bulb, soda cup, and an egg shell. Answer keys are provided for each version. Version 2 - Landfill with Soda Cup Version 3 - Garbage with Egg Shell Version 4 - Landfill with Egg Shell

My grandma’s brisket is my favorite holiday food. There is nothing that compares. I know that every family thinks that their brisket recipe is the best, but ours truly is the BEST. As one of my good friends said “oh there’s a lot less ketchup than I thought, being a Midwestern recipe!” The recipe is very simple and so easy. Throw everything together and let it cook! You will love to have this on your seder table. 6 Pound brisket, trimmed of most fat 1 Bottle chili sauce (spicy ketchup works too)
