This game is VERY simple but powerful for the kids because it helps them to make those connections that 5 pennies = 1 nickel, 2 nickels = 1 dime, etc...

Weather: Fill the cup with water. Put shaving cream on top for a cloud. Explain that when clouds get really heavy with water, it rains! Then put blue food coloring on top of the cloud, and watch it rain. Such a cool idea!

Lori Wallerich This works well with dyslexic kiddos who have trouble remembering facts.
Mary Cayot i stil use this b/c my brain doesn't work too well w/ my 9x!
Stephanie Walbridge I teach the 9s this way!!!
Cindy Allen Have you ever noticed that the answers all equal 9 too... 2x9=18, 1+8=9, etc...
Tej Carbone still use this myself for 9x

Pam Wells This looks like the stuff from Big Bang Theory!
Kay Doyle @Pam Wells--I had the exact same thought!! :-) Have to try this one with the kids...
Rachel Cannistraro Used this at my 4yr olds "Science Experiment" Birthday party. it was a huge hit
I can hardly wait to try this!! --> Volcano in a mug. Much more accurate than the old baking soda/vinegar idea.

Jamie Ahlstrom I did this with my students. They loved it! The bigger the glass and materials, the better the eruption.
Stacy of KSW Cool, thanks Jamie. I was wondering how much wax I needed to add. What sort of wax did you use?

Laura Stump also works with an under-the-bed storage bin...they are shallow and since they are rectangles they fit right in the milk crates or any low table.

Stacia Dadiotis Mizukawa This is actually hoe I learned!! LOVE IT!!
Hannah Laurenson As long as students understand the reasoning behind the "shortcut," then it may be helpful; make sure they know they are finding equivalent fractions. It's awfully cute! (6 yrs teaching math)
Jessica Lindsay I'm with Hannah - shortcuts can be great, but you have to make sure they understand why they're doing what they do!
Allyson Klaus Compared to first finding the least common denominator, this method would require students to have to simplify in many cases.
Angie Matthewson I actually find the least common denominator to be less complicated.
