One of the Algebra skills my students struggle with the most is take a problem from written form to an equation. Causes my hair to turn gray I teach Geometry and this is always an issue. With the new depth of rigor the ability to translate to an equation is even more critical.
I was searching on Pintrest and found this WONDERFUL study aid for my kids. The problem is that it require ALOT of cutting. I hate to cut. (That is not even strong enough wording) I would rather do anything that cut. So to my Cricut (scrapbooking tool) after a little frustration I was able to cut 25 sleeves in less than 10 minutes. This is my type of project.
The best thing is that I know have a study aid for my students!! I have put the power into their hands to succeed. What was once a scary skill is now just a "slide" sway!
Now my wheels are turning....what else could I use this for?
WAIT A MINUTE WAIT A MINUTE WAIT A MINUTE!!!

Elizabeth, the cricut is a scrapbooking die cut machine. Used with Sure Cuts A Lot you can cut ANYTHING (within reason) It is amazing! I have the expression cricut. I think the new and better die cut machine is the Siloutte. I have had mine for several years and use it for everything.
