The other kids have an easier time remembering names of strategies too. They might not remember "arrow language" but they do remember "Madison's Way."Tammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18053983168084838303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1613616153468099498.post-69991070907792713712012-06-20T01:43:30.513-04:002012-06-20T01:43:30.513-04:00I think my favorite part is that you don't cal...I think my favorite part is that you don't call it the "arrow" strategy- you call it "Madison's" strategy. I know my kids beam sharing their work with each other- but I can only imagine how they beam to have their way named after them!<br /><br />Thanks for sharing :)<br /><br />Jenny<br /><a href="http://luckeyfrogslilypad.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Luckeyfrog's Lilypad</a>luckeyfroghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09338266098096236978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1613616153468099498.post-30387303462259469072012-06-19T19:50:00.526-04:002012-06-19T19:50:00.526-04:00Thanks Lori.
