As I walked across the parking lot, I noticed three Arab men huddled to together talking, and as I passed, one in particular started yelling out. This one in particular was wearing a turban big enough to…

The unit that will be transformed is a unit is The Building Blocks of Algebra (eMath Instructional Inc., 2016). This unit is in need of a transformation because of the lack of differentiation. Although there is plenty of scaffolding of the new content (Van de Walle, Karp, & Bay-Williams, 2013, p. 23), the approach does not vary very much in its representation (Van de Walle et al., 2013, p. 22-24).

Neewollah Block Party I attended a strange celebration where many people gathered together for the same reason, Neewollah. In this bizarre culture, everyone was clothed in apparel resembling something other than their true selves. Citizens were throwing items and yelling strange chants from the top of their abodes.
