This year, though, I was able to use this lesson from start to finish.

I had my students piece the puzzle together the following class period as a warmup. Some did it with ease while others were really challenged. The discriminant portion is so valuable and I was intrigued that my students also sorted the equations into two piles at first. Only 2 groups in each class saw that there were really 3 groupings. This lesson brought about great discussions! LOVED IT!!!!Gr8Mathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14400154938619576168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2467202639598238063.post-53373272033889689572013-01-04T09:57:17.796-06:002013-01-04T09:57:17.796-06:00I couldn't get them to sing at all but I just ...I couldn't get them to sing at all but I just played it a couple of days in a row to get it stuck in their heads. I heard them sing a little of it or even mouth it so I know it stuck even though they were too cool to admit it. =)miss.calcul8https://www.blogger.com/profile/02014623484245570719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2467202639598238063.post-14808161167808942522013-01-04T09:55:11.671-06:002013-01-04T09:55:11.671-06:00Thanks for this post!

I sing the "Pop Goes the Weasel" tune for the formula and have a hard time getting my kids to sing along (high schoolers are soooo cool, haha), so I think my kids will get a kick out of the new one and be more apt to join me! I'm also going to try your sorting activity.
