On the next slide we’ll go back to Trick #2
Your job will be to model the steps with the manipulatives and to show the algebraic notation.
Trick #2 • Pick your favorite number between 1-9 • Multiply by 3 • Add 3 • Multiply by 3 again (I’ll wait while you get the
calculator....) • You'll get a 2 or 3 digit number…• Add the digits together
• Now find that number on the next slide to see who your role model is ...
