Math Teacher's at Play #1

This blog reveals many different activities to use with students ranging from elementary to high school. Specifically for middle school, there are several engaging activities that can be used to help students understand difficult math concepts such as exponential curves and factoring trinomials. There is also a link to a blog about "Friday Afternoon Life Savers" which has a blog about many friday afternoon puzzles and activities that a teacher can do with a class in order for students to gain a deeper understanding of a particular subject. I have already browsed through this link to see what I can potentially use with my class. Sometimes students get very restless at the end of the week and these puzzles would be a great way to change things up a bit.
