Factoring Trinomials
A discussion on the Facebook group "Math Teachers Professional Learning Network" prompted me to create two videos (quickly, and not at all professionally done!) introducing the method I've taught for more than 50 years.
Here they are:
I hope you find them useful.

Math Stories to Enrich Elementary Mathematics
I have been making my math stories, illustrated by my grandchild, available online at no charge. Please feel free to download and print, and share the links wherever you think someone might enjoy them.
Within each story there is typically a place where the reader (parent, teacher, or child) should stop reading and do some work on the embedded mathematics.
Here are the links:

Helping Your Child Learn Mathematics With activities for children in preschool through grade 5
Strength in Numbers | National Numeracy Challenge helps adults learn the math needed for everyday life. A good place to start if you yourself are not comfortable with math.
High School Math Review Tutorials Problems - a free resource with examples, problems, explantions and exercises. Parents can use these free resources and problems to help your child learn math.
Maths activities for children | Family Maths Toolkit has collections of activities for age ranges 3-13. Topics include: around the house, math and money, games, out and about, books and TV. From UK.
Written Methods of Calculation in Numeracy at Key Stage 2: A guide for parents and carers (another British one)
Technology
ONLINE
Here's an example of an app that's available online from NCTM. It's pitched at grades 3-8, but I wouldn't hesitate to share this with much younger children--it provides an exploration of algebraic thinking about equations using a balance scale:
Pan Balance – Shapes
Here's a screenshot:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you remember LOGO or Turtle Geometry from the early days of home computing, you'll like Turtle Pond. This introduces children as young as pre-K to rudimentary coding.
I also like Pick-a-Path (one of my favorites, suitable, at the higher levels, for grades 3 and up), Isometric Drawing Tool, Tessellation Creator.
Several good online games are available at PBS Kids Odd Squad Games. In particular, I liked "Down the Tubes." The underlying math includes number stuff (different sums to make a particular target length of tube) and geometric transformations (turns and flips). The levels build slowly, but eventually get mathematically interesting. The graphics are sufficiently eye-catching so your child will have the patience to continue to a challenging level.
MOBILE DEVICES
NOT free:
DragonBox - Discover the game of Math
The game claims it "secretly teaches algebra," which is true, but I think there are advantages to having a parent or teacher ask the occasional question or suggest recording what is happening in the game on paper so the algebra can be made more explicit. A good description of the game variations can be found here: DRAGONBOX ALGEBRA - The game that secretly teaches algebra.
DragonBox Elements - Geometry Proofs on the App Store (iPad $4.99)

Big Seed is one of my favorites. It develops visual-spatial skills as you flip shapes to cover the presented puzzle. I find it much more challenging than my granddaughter does!

Another FREE math story--this one with illustrations!
My granddaughter just finished illustrating one of my math stories. (The math at the heart of the story is the Fibonacci sequence and the teaching/learning strategy of "Notice and Wonder" is featured.) I hope you'll take a look. She did the artwork in two days. An AMAZING 10-year-old! Enjoy!

Preparing for the PSAT, SAT, and ACT
STRATEGIES FOR DOING WELL
ON THE ACT & SAT
Marsha Landau, Ph.D.
marsha.landau@gmail.com
- Use only REAL practice materials.
The Real ACT (CD) 3rd Edition (Real Act Prep Guide) [Paperback]
Publisher: Peterson's Guides September 6, 2011
ISBN-10: 076893432X
Official SAT Study Guide (2016 Edition) (Official Study Guide for the New Sat)
Publisher: College Board

- Simulate test conditions when practicing – use an answer sheet, observe time limits, take at least one whole practice test in one sitting.
WRITE ON THE TEST
• Show work next to each item.
• Mark up line numbers in reading passages with connections to questions.
• Cross out eliminated answer choices.
• Mark your answer for each item on the test before recording it on your answer sheet.
CODE EACH ITEM
S Sure
G Guess (only after eliminating at least two of the answer choices)
W Wild guess (when you don’t know enough to eliminate two answer choices)
→ Come back to this one when more time is available
Use the code to make good use of time. This will be discussed during the video. Be prepared to take notes!
STRATEGIES (Math)
• Try the answers.
• Plug in numbers.
• Use the diagram for all it’s worth.
• Draw a diagram.
• Don’t make up your own problem.
Use the problems below to practice the strategies. Solve the problems on your own, then watch the video for solutions.
Each of the following questions has five answer choices. For each of the questions, select the best answer choice given.
1. If the length and width of a rectangle are both tripled, the ratio of the area of the original rectangle to the area of the enlarged rectangle is:
(A) 1:3
(B) 1:6
(C) 1:9
(D) 1:8
(E) 2:9
2. At a luncheon table where 12 men are seated, one-half of the men belong to Club A, one-third belong to Club B, and one-fourth belong to both clubs. How many men belong to neither?
(A) 3
(B) 4
(C) 5
(D) 6
(E) 8
3. In December, Elizabeth sold 30 percent more satellite TV subscriptions than she had in November. In January, she sold 20 percent more satellite TV subscriptions than she had in December. The number of satellite TV subscriptions Elizabeth sold was what percent greater in January than in November?
(A) 50
(B) 54
(C) 56
(D) 62
(E) 60
4. The weight of a bag of mangoes plus four more than twice that weight equals 40 pounds. How much, in pounds, does the bag of mangoes weigh?
(A) 10
(B) 12
(C) 14
(D) 16
(E) 20
5. The triangle below is isosceles and is drawn to scale.
What is the measure of angle N ?
A. 22°
B. 68°
C. 78°
D. 79°
E. 89°
6. If x + 2y = 1, and 2x + y = 5, then x + y = ?
A. 1
B. 2
C. 3
D. 4

So far I have received some useful suggestions for improvement, so I'll be posting a revision when I've had time to mull over the new ideas and create a new version.
