1 + 1 = 2





Is it really that simple?
This week, I met with a math team and we brainstormed what we do in math. Here's what we came up with - now the question is - What math equation can you make from this?

Student + textbook = mastery of learning targets (1 + 1 = 2)

Well what if the student struggles?
-1 + 1 does not equal 2

What if the textbook is not enough?
1 + -1 does not equal 2

Or can it be explained with a graph or geometry or another math theory?
