What is Algebra?
Word Art Image:

Practical Use in a Lesson:

For this particular word art image, I went in with the idea of “What is Algebra?”. This
would be a great introductory activity for students to
flip through their textbooks and use words/terms they
find that exhibit what algebra is, or what they think it
is. Once students create these images, we could print
them and hang them around the classroom so the
students can recognize words that they were
questioning at the start of algebra and see what they
now understand.
Similarly, this could be used at the beginning of
different units that are vocabulary heavy in
mathematics, such as slope and graphing. An example
using a variety of formulas is included to the right, as
in mathematics sometimes the most important thing
is to be able to identify a particular formula.
