    Students engaged in a hands-on activity using objects like buttons and paper clips to learn about exponents and variables. Working with partners, students counted and grouped objects, then wrote variable equations to represent their counts. This active learning approach helped students engage with and understand the concepts. The teacher observed that hands-on activities can reinforce skills and engage students in the subject material. Students also completed a worksheet to guide them through developing variable equations that included exponents. The activity was effective at teaching variables and exponents, and the teacher wondered what other activities could reinforce these concepts.

    Students were given the opportunity to work with hands-on objects to


    understand the concept of exponents and variables. Certain objects that

    occurred today, which were counted were buttons, paper clips, colored chips, small pieces of
    addressed the teaching blue paper to represent a negative integer where red ones were a
    standards identified positive integer. They then wrote their own variable equation from the
    above. Then describe items they counted for example:
    what you learned. Buttons + paper clips + small red papers
    x+x+y+y+y+y+y+y+2
    2 5
    x + y +2

    I learned that having a hands on activity can have the students be more
    engaging in the subject while also recalling skills that they know they
    learned before and but cant fully remember how its done.
    The students were engaged in the activity, many had fun working with
    partners to figure out how to complete the task while also learning and

    Students also had to fill out a chart on a worksheet to guide them
