Algebra's Hidden Structure: — Videos + Worksheets (Free)
Why do bright students suddenly struggle when they move from arithmetic to algebra? After decades of teaching both remedial and advanced math, I discovered the answer: students memorize rules without understanding the structure underneath. "Keep, Change, Flip." Separate rules for every combination of positive and negative numbers. Tricks that work but hide the connections. Research I conducted with Dr. Lee V. Stiff confirmed what I suspected — when college algebra students who believed they "c

To Measure or Not to Measure
When I originally created this activity more than a decade ago, I intended to provide meaningful measurement practice for high school students who were in the non-accelerated mathematics track and not proficient in measuring skills. It was my further intention to illustrate to these students the importance of mathematics reasoning, which in these problems saves time as well as providing more accurate responses. Because my students’ positive responses and enthusiasm to the mathematical concepts
