Demonstation of each relation is accomplished by physically rearranging the pieces to establish equalities of areas or lengths. These are not rigorous mathematical proofs, but rather visual common-sense proofs. As such, they help make these abstract relationships real and believable. By actually handling the pieces, students engage their minds to a greater degree than they would by merely looking at the proofs on paper. The colour instructions describe how each proof is demonstrated, and four reproducible worksheets reinforce the material. Contains 20 magnetic foam pieces. 206334 - $38.95 Tel: 1.800.668.0600 Fax: 1.800.668.0602 2016-01-18 2:37 PM Geometry & Measurement Folding Geometric Solids Folding geometric shapes with clear casings.

Because everyone who plays wins! Here’s how students and educators alike will benefit from The Algebra Game Students will... 4 recognize connections between different card features 4 understand how cards relate and write about those relationships 4 build conjectures to support observations 4 improve problem-solving skills 4 develop proficiency in recognizin algebraic equations Linear Graphs Card Set Students can make sense of linear equations by matching slope and y-intercept cards. They will quickly grasp the interconnections between cards and how the distinct parts – graphs, point, pair, slope, and y intercept – fit together wit equations. All decks used together provide a greater variety of parallel and perpendicular line pairs for extra practice or added challenge. Contains 5 decks of 60 cards each, including 12 graphs with 5 matching components for each graph, plus a 60-page teacher manual. 204028 - $157.50 Quadratic Equations Card Set Teachers and tutors will...

It is the set of all points in a plane that are at a given distance from a given point, the centre; equivalently it is a curve traced out by a point that moves so that its distance from a given point is constant. The distance between any of the points and the centre is called the radius.
