A Fawn-tastic start to the school year

Just like last year, I made it exactly two days into the school year before working through an activity that Fawn Nguyen shared with the boys. Guess the over / under for nest year should be pretty easy to set!

Today Fawn tweeted about her new project:

Math 8 or Alg Ts: I'm doing the 2nd lesson "Algebraic Thinking" in this post if you'd like to check it out: http://t.co/Vi8kkmTiaK

The 2nd lesson – Algebraic Thinking – caught my eye and I thought I’d have each of the boys work through 2 of the 8 problems.

Here’s my younger son’s work on problem #1:

and on problem #5 – I love the language that he uses when he solves this problem:

Here is my older son working through problem #3 – his language solving this problem is also great:

and here’s his work on #6:

So, another great start to the year thanks to Fawn Nguyen. Sharing her project with the boys always makes for a fun evening.
