Math Game Monday: Integer Solitaire
This game gives upper-elementary and middle school children plenty of practice adding and subtracting integers. It's a fun challenge for adults, too!

Math Game Monday: Integer Solitaire
This game gives upper-elementary and middle school children plenty of practice adding and subtracting integers. It's a fun challenge for older students and adults, too! Many parents remember struggling to learn math. We hope to provide a better experience for our children. And one of the best ways for children to enjoy learning is through hands-on play.

So two NFL games today between playoff teams and both had lopsided results. Why would the selection committee do this when Bama was available.

I plan to use these prompts as a warm-up in my Math for Teachers class for our investigations of statistics this Spring. ♾️

How are these two representations the same? How are they different?
When would you choose to use each representation to communicate an idea and why?

Thinking about using these in my Math for Teachers class in the Spring. Bradley students have iPads, so it seems like an easy adaption. Might be fun! ♾️

Hi Adam, I take your point that the quadratic formula can be presented in a way that does not inspire understanding or affection. And it sounds like that's how it was taught to you. So let me try to make a better case for it. Here's how I discussed it in my book The Joy of x. (1/9)

Broken stick problems.
1. Break a stick into 3 pieces, what is the probability that those pieces can form a △?
2. Break a stick into n ≥ 3 pieces, what is the probability that the 3 *shortest* lengths form a △?
3. The 3 *longest* lengths form a △?
4. 3 random pieces?
