An Easy Transformation
Before:
Instructions:
Solve every problem, or maybe just the odds.
After:
Instructions given to students:
- Group the problems you think belong together
- Work with your group to write out a rule that works to simplify the expressions in each group
- Clearly show how the rule applies to simplifying each expression.
Love this! I wonder how you could get students to do this outside of class (where the groups are harder to control).
