Factoring Quadratic Expressions – Part 3

Factoring quadratic expressions can be a challenging and abstract concept for students to learn – but it doesn’t have to be. In part 3 of this this 5-part series, Erica Mason from the University of Missouri shows how you can use manipulatives and multiple representations to teach all students how to factor quadratic expressions. This series is based off the research of Tricia Strickland.

Factoring Quadratic Expressions – Part 2

In part 2 of this this 5-part series, Erica Mason from the University of Missouri shows how you can use manipulatives and multiple representations to teach all students how to factor quadratic expressions.

Factoring quadratic expressions can be a challenging and abstract concept for students to learn – but it doesn’t have to be.

This series is based off the research of Tricia Strickland.

Multiplying Linear Expression – Part 4

Erica Mason wraps up part four of this four-part series on using manipulatives to teach students how to multiply linear expressions. See how Erica uses the research from Tricia Strickland’s TEC article to help students learn algebra content.
This video is part of Project STAIR, a free online resource for parents and teachers looking for research-based strategies for teaching their students math.

Multiplying Linear Expression – Part 3

In part 3 of this 4 part video, Erica Mason from the University of Missouri shows teachers how they can use algebra blocks to make the abstract concepts of multiplying terms concrete and easier to understand for all students. In this video, Erica uses Algebra Lab Gear manipulatives, and the work is based off of research by Tricia Strickland.

Moving to the abstract concepts can be challenging for many kids, but can be especially challenging for those students who struggle in math.
