Teachers Are Talking About the Creative Equations Project
Here’s what other teachers have to say about the Creative Equations Project:
“My kids have really been struggling with the Order of Operations; they totally get it, but forget to use it unless the directions specify, no matter HOW many times we talk about it! Hopefully this will give them something to pop into their heads and remind them to use it! Thanks!”
