Ts @LeslieThomasSch put their new learning into action this week. Following #thinkingclassrooms PD with @pgliljedahl, Ss are working on thin-sliced questions with banners and making meaningful notes using the quadrant method. It is amazing to see and hear the thinking! #HRCEMath

Gr 9 Ss @SackvilleHigh were practicing applying the order of operations, including exponents. Instead of assigning a worksheet, Ms. MacNeil created a scavenger hunt - same type of questions, same type of practice but so much more engagement! A great end to the week! #HRCEMath

It’s been a busy week in Ms. Thibeau’s grade 6 class @MSMSJaguars! Ss explored how to find the volume of rectangular prisms in lots of different ways, and built their understanding of how they could find the volume of any rectangular prism. #HRCEMath
