[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] X-box has absolutely nothing to do with common core. It is a method of factoring that has been taught for decades (Split the middle term in a trinomial to create 4 terms that can be grouped). The "box" is just a graphic organizer for kids who struggle to stay organized in their thinking or benefit from a visual tool. I was introduced to it during my student teaching 20 years ago and used it with algebra 1 kids for years. In algebra 2 I try to wean them off of it for simpler (a=1) problems, but for a=/=1 it's a fabulous tool.[/quote] Did they use the box and actual term XBox 20 years ago? That would mean it was before the video games.[/quote]
