Location: Lafayette		I used a foldable in my part I today for solving one step equations. I think it helped the students get the hang of it. Has anyone heard of the book The Big Book of Math Ideas or something like that? I heard of it at KCTM this past weekend, but I can't remember the exact title. Also, has anyone else had success stories with foldables?

Location: Retired FCPS, Current UK and Transy		love, love, LOVE foldables! Went to Dinah Zike's session at NCTM. She is awesome! In my classroom I have used tab books, bound books, double five-tab books, etc. Too numerous to name. Kids like them too. My students tell me they can remember things better for a test because they can remember seeing it on their foldables.

Location: Lafayette		I don't think we have any Glencoe stuff left. If you are not using it, is there anyway you could currier it to us. I would love to share it with the rest of my department.

Location: Lafayette		Natalee sent me the book on foldables and an instructional video on how to use them in the classroom. I have now used foldables in four out of my six classes. I think all of us at Lafayette need to at least try it once. If we find something that works, please share the experience with the rest of us.
Today, I used foldables in Pre-Cal for angles of elevation and angles of depression. In the inside of the foldable we worked an example of each. Hopefully they understand the difference between the two.
