Join 7th/8th grade teacher Marlo Warburton as she makes the difficult easy. Using a simple demonstration, a graphic organizer, common sense, and a seesaw metaphor, she makes students thrill to the challenge of solving Algebra mixture problems. Her “Mixture Picture” method works easily, clearly and helps make her classroom a happy place. Watch and see! You’ll leave with a smile on your face too.
Behind the Camera insider info:
This was our first video of what proved to be hundreds we made for the Teaching Channel, and still to this day, one of our best. Could it be because Marlo Warburton is among the most wonderful teachers ever?
Well, lets call that a rhetorical question because…
She sure is!
Watch how she summons the fear of math as a motivator and then by the end of the lesson, drives that fear far away, with clear and clever explication of one of the most difficult algebraic subjects to teach or master: Mixture Problems.
