Assignment
Please click on the discussion tab above to add your comments about this discussion question:

//__**Prompt 1**__// ‍‍‍What vocabulary strategy did you use for polynomials? Do you feel it helped your students gain a clearer understanding of polynomials?

T ‍‍‍The vocabulary strategy I used was the Frayer model in which the students had to fold colored paper in four squares. They were four squares on the front and they were also able to record vocabulary on the back. The students understood the definitions and examples were also shown on board. This technique is better because they are not just writing notes on paper, they actually had to think of examples and non examples to use. ‍‍‍How did you approach factoring this year? If you used the method from the MIT how did you feel it helped your students success with factoring?
 * __//Prompt 2//__**

‍‍‍I have not taught factoring yes. I will use the technique shown in the MIT staff development. The discussion board will be open until March 2. Please contribute two original comments related to the prompts above and respond to at least on person's comment.
