Yeah for spring break. Here's something that one of my math teacher friends sent me that I thought you would find entertaining.
DAY 1 : Teach them that (a+b)/c is (a/c) + (b/c) DAY 2 : Teach them that a/(b+c) is NOT (a/b) + (a/c) DAY 3 : Teach them that x / ln(x) is NOT “1 / ln” DAY 4 : Teach them that you can’t solve (sin(kx)) = 1 by saying “x = 1/sin(k)” DAY 5 : Remind them that a/(b+c) is NOT (a/b) + (a/c) DAY 6 : Show them a movie of a student sitting in a field, writing “(a+b)^2 = a^2 + b ^2” and then getting HIT BY A TRAIN DAY 7 : Remind them that a/(b+c) is NOT (a/b) + (a/c) DAY 8 : Teach them that if the domain of the a function f is the reals, the graph of y = f(x) is NOT a blank pair of axes and perhaps they should adjust the “window” DAY 9 : Teach them that x/(y+z) is NOT (x/y) + (x/z) DAY 10 : Group work: Bring a trout to class. Have them solve sin(kx) = 1. If they get x = 1/sin(k), hit them with the trout. Make it a big trout.

DAY 2
: Teach them that a/(b+c) is NOT (a/b) + (a/c)
DAY 3
: Teach them that x / ln(x) is NOT “1 / ln”
DAY 4
: Teach them that you can’t solve (sin(kx)) = 1 by saying “x = 1/sin(k)”
DAY 5
: Remind them that a/(b+c) is NOT (a/b) + (a/c)
DAY 6
: Show them a movie of a student sitting in a field, writing
“(a+b)^2 = a^2 + b ^2” and then getting HIT BY A TRAIN
DAY 7
: Remind them that a/(b+c) is NOT (a/b) + (a/c)
DAY 8
: Teach them that if the domain of the a function f is the reals, the graph
of y = f(x) is NOT a blank pair of axes and perhaps they should adjust the “window”
