Algebra is hard
stuff.
During the last
month we have been learning how to use letters to mean numbers.
This topic has
been particularly difficult to us, since it was the very first time we dealt
with it.
However, games
can help!
During one session we played a board game in which we had to evaluate
algebraic expressions, that is, find the numerical value of expressions that
include letters. We had to roll the dice, and its outcome was the value of x.
That way we went forward or backwards on the board until there was a winner.
We had fun and
learnt a little bit!
