Making some sweets for our Valentines and working on fractions!

Small group, targeted instruction, adapting a lesson from Mathology to move student thinking forward. Guiding Question: how many ways can we represent a pattern?

Coding our translations with a partner! @GEDSB this fun game is found on the Mathology grade 4 lesson!

All ready for the @GEDSB Mount Pleasant Open House! Let’s do some Christmas math! Thanks @MPSGRADE6 for partnering with me ❤️ Thanks @mathequalslove for the pentomino puzzles! They were a hit! 🎄

When you experience total engagement in Mathematics and can feel the synergy in the classroom. @pgliljedahl ‘s new book is my favourite! @GEDSB

When our desk pets ran away, we read How to Catch an Elf, so we could develop a plan to catch them. We also thought, they may want a home. Thanks to @el_dailey and @Makedo for lending the tools! The students LOVED using the tools to create.

Desk Pet Adoptions are now closed! Working our way through persuasive writing using the interests of students - who doesn’t LOVE @squishmallows Comment or message for the @canva link

Working through Block 4: data - a combo lesson from the MLRP and Mathology - how to find central tendencies using snap cubes. @GEDSB

STEM problem solving in action. What was the average distance travelled? Which car traveled the furthest? What were the variables? Not pictured: solar-dud cars 🫠

Yesterday, we didn’t get time to consolidate our learning. Today our Minds On was revisiting our task to consolidate our learning, followed by small group instruction, based on our observations and conversations.

Trying out a new medium in art. After practicing some watercolor techniques, we put our skills to the test with still life painting. I think they are GOURD-geous ❤️

A bit behind but starting our block on NS and Measurement. Loving the @GEDSB MLRP lessons for this block, building an array model of our multiplication table. A powerful visual to understand how these facts are derived & relationships between numbers.

Learning about the character attributes of an All Star from Q-Mack.

Happy Halloween @GEDSB! A fun day of dancing, games and math!

Thank you @thethmuseum and @GEDSB for organizing this impactful experience. @MrRVank thank you, too!

Thanks @openmiddle these engaging operating with decimals thinking questions. We loved them. @GEDSB

Using @CathyMarksKrpan Concept Circles to explore different representations of decimals. If the middle block represents 1, how can we represent the following numbers? (Posted on the board in standard form, expanded form and written form).

Our exploration table is featuring some beautiful gourds from Sawaya Gardens. @GEDSB How were these sorted? @DainaSakalas can your 4/5s guess the sorting rules?

Last week, I learned about sit spots. Feeling so lucky to have this space to reconnect with nature - even horses! Thanks to @GEDSB Indigenous team for a new addition to our mental health activities. Such great consolidation after about what we saw, heard and felt.

A few dots - but so many strategies and conversations from counting on, doubling, adding and multiplicative thinking. @SteveWyborney @GEDSB
