Concreteville or Abstractland?

Oh what a great day in Pre-Algebra!

I gave the infamous Concreteville / Abstractland lecture/story today... and the kids did wonderfully with it. :) You'll have to check with them to learn more about what all that is about.

In short, its a conversation about learning math... as opposed to just learning another skill... that really helps in learning math.

No homework, but back to those equations tomorrow!
