  1. I'm intrigued by your area-model method for dividing polynomials. Please write that post! P.S. you're my math hero. I thought i was hot stuff. No, you are hot stuff. 🙂

    1. Thanks Cate 🙂 I promise. It's on my to-do list. (Though, there are a ton of things on that list…)

  2. Cancelling terms is KILLING me right now! What's the "cat"? I'd love something good to help them remember.

    1. I LOVE don't kill the kitten. Once I showed my kids that, I used it all year, and they knew exactly what I was talking about. (It may help that I'm a bit of a cat lady…)
      It got to the point where I'd start the sentence and one of my students would finish it, yelling not to kill the cat.

  3. I'll be teaching an Algebra I support class next year – Question: How do you deal with their notebooks getting super thick? Do you have them get a new one at the end of each quarter – or does it not get as thick as I'm anticipating? Thank you for sharing your awesome stuff so freely!!!! You're great.

    1. I've only ever used a hundred pages tops. I did give my students giant rubber bands to hold their notebooks closed.

    1. I just found it via a google search. I've long lost the link, though. 🙁

  6. Sarah am overwhelmed by your strategies of teaching. Is there anyway I can get a copy of that book and any othersuggestions. I'd really love to use it to teach my classes.

    1. Sorry it's a bit overwhelming! If you go to my pinterest page, I do try to put a picture of each page on there.

    1. No. All of my resources are posted here on my blog for FREE!
