A chair is made of 1 large and 2 small pieces.

A table is made of 2 large and 2 small pieces.

You have 11 large and 14 small pieces.

The profit for a table is $16. The profit for a chair is $10.

How many table and chairs should you make to maximize profit?

It’s Pictionary, but with math!

I really want students to understand the models that they are applying to these problems. I feel that drawing it out is way harder for students than "doing it" as they seem to think memorizing mnemonics is true math. It gets students thinking laterally about mathematics, and translating something concrete into something abstract.

Seven (Sneaky) Activities to Get Your Students Talking Mathematically

So we all know it’s importance. We all understand that students learn more when they do it. The problem is how to facilitate it.“It” is getting students to talk mathematically. As a teacher, you can’t really say “ok kiddos, work on this thing together and I WANT TO HEAR THAT MATH TALK.” Well, maybe you can, but I’m not able to. I have to be more insidious, more conniving, more sneaky to get my students using mathematical vocabulary and verbalizing mathematical arguments.
