I LOVE, HEART, ADORE Amazon.com. It is where I do 80% of my shopping for school supplies, books and other "necessary" items. Because of this, I have a steady supply of boxes and packing bubbles coming in. Amazon usually packs with little air pouches. Heaven knows I have a lot of little air pouches. Being a teacher who thinks everything can be reused (you know what I mean), I have always wondered what I could use these little air pouches for. So the other day when a box came from Amazon, I had an idea! Algebraic equations with air pouches!
First I took some acrylic paint and painted the tops of the air pouches (the side that does not have writing on it).
After the bubbles dried, I wrote algebraic equations on the bubbles with a Sharpe marker.
Voila! We have bubble equations!
Another great thing about these bubbles, they have tear marks to be easily pulled apart and handed out to students.
I am going to give my students an equation bubble and have them solve it on their white boards. When they solve the problem they get to pop the bubble! So excited to try this next year. I am going to make a whole box of equation bubbles ready to go.
Any other ideas for these equation bubbles?
We LOVE it!!! Cute idea! :)

You know what else would be cute? For younger kids- using the big bubbled bubble wrap and putting their letters on it as they are learning. When they identify the right letter, they get to pop it.
ReplyDeleteStarla, that is a great idea! The little Kiddos would love that!
