Now to start finding ways to make a little $ with it.... any ideas?????
Teaching 7th grade level math is a lot of fun because there's a bunch of different concepts to teach and so much fun you can have teaching them! One of the hard things though that I've had in the past is getting my students to understand the difference between a permutation and a combination...and apply it..... So I made this math lab.... and it was awesome (in my own opinion!)
Overview:
Students will explore the difference between permutations and combinations by completing a hands-on math lab involving real-life senarios of permutations and combinations.
Materials:
* Construction paper (for the pizza toppings and flowers)
* scissors
* Glue
* Math Lab on "Get It Order: Permutations & Combinations" ($1 USD)
It was awesome to see the kids actually grasp the difference between the permutations and combinations and be able to complete problems involving both permutations AND combinations on the same paper.
I'm a middle school math teacher in my 10th year of teaching. I teach at the BEST school - Legacy Prep. Christian Academy. While I love math, my students don't always like it when they start out. So, I've discovered if we not only make it fun and interesting, but allow them to discover math, they appreciate it and remember it! This is a collection of ideas I've come up with and designs to help inspire my students to learn. Happy learning!
