IDEA Problem-Solving Method for Physics and Chemistry | Back to School
Are your students struggling to solve Physics or Chemistry problems? Do they have no idea where to start? Or maybe they jump right in plugging in numbers, then get lost in the process! This was exactly the problem I was having with my AP Physics 1 students when I developed this method. I would typically present this as one of the first lessons to my students, but this can also be quickly taught within a unit whenever you feel like it is needed. I have used this method for AP Physics 1, AP Physi

Pause and Solve
Help your students solve math problems one step at a time. Do your students shut down when looking at a problem to solve? I made this resource and taught my students how to use the Pause & Solve step by step process. Checklists and sticky notes are a novelty for students. Try this resource out and see for yourself their improvement. I print this resource in color on white cardstock and laminate. I work through a few problems using this resource either whole group or small group depending on my

Factoring by GCF and Grouping Egg Hunt (3 levels)
This is a factoring by GCF and grouping egg hunt activity! In each egg, there is a factoring problem for the students to solve. Once they solve the problem, I check their work. If correct, they rehide the egg and then find a new one. The process repeats until they find all 16 eggs. This activity includes three differentiated levels, making it perfect for meeting students where they are. Level A is the easiest and uses problems with only one variable, helping students build confidence with simpl
