RT @JessMattei: Which caves dare we enter in education? 🔦

Math Talk. 6th graders use their creativity and new learned knowledge of ratios & rates. Watch how they share original context of 75:15 with their peers. “Proud teach in the house!” #teacherlife #Mathematics @PVMS_West @PV_Schools @MakeMathMoments @JessMattei

Equal entry to problem-solving is MAGICAL for all students! Shout out to Kyle & Jon! Thank you for offering resources to help me improve my math practice. Students are engaged in conceptual learning that they value and find purposeful @MakeMathMoments @PVMS_West @PV_Schools

MSW Red Ribbon Week ends with school spirit embracing kindness, peace, and community! #SayNoToDrugs #teacherlife ⁦@PV_Schools⁩ ⁦@PVMS_West⁩

Horror, Action, & Sci-Fi…my 6th graders favorite kinds of movies…spending math class making it real, making connections that they personally find purposeful! Math is engaging when there is meaning behind it.#Maths #learningisfun #teacherlife @PVMS_West @PV_Schools

YES… there’s math needed here🤓…6th graders used our math maker-space to design and create duct tape flip flop prototypes. Pretty darn cool! #makerspace #mathematics #teacherlife @PVMS_West @PV_Schools

Conceptualizing integers, giving them meaning and evaluating their purpose can be super challenging. So, once again, encouraging 6th graders to make connections and ask WHY? #persevere #Maths #teacherlife @PVMS_West @PV_Schools

Teaching the WHY in math class! 6th graders make connections and share their understanding about word problems that include decimal values🤓#teacherlife #math #collaboration @PVMS_West @PV_Schools

Introducing collaboration in 6th grade math class. With time and consistency, students will welcome opportunities to “dig deeper” into the math with their peers. #changeisgood #math #teacherlife @PVMS_West @PV_Schools

Math Maker-Space Take 2. Students translate their algebraic expressions using the associative or commutative property to construct a flip flop out of 2 materials…duct tape and cardboard. Stay tuned for their final products #math #teachdifferently @PVMS_West @PV_Schools

Explore & Innovate in math class…implement a math maker-space and experience students engaged, focused, making connections, and of course having fun! #Mathematics #makerspace #teacherlife @PVMS_West @PV_Schools

It’s noisy today…like it should be when students tackle problem-solving together🤓 #problemSolving #mathematics #teacherlife @PVMS_West @PV_Schools

Notice & Wonder about the WHY & HOW. 6th graders ROCKED Table Time Today. Try encouraging silence and self-reflection for an entire math period🤓 Thinking deeply and sharing one’s understanding with peers makes a difference in learning. #mathematics #teacherlife @PVMS_West

BEFORE tackling word problems…6th graders pause and use “marking up” strategies to understand,…THEN plan, solve, & check #math #teacherlife @PVMS_West @PV_Schools

PROBLEM SOLVING🤓 Right back at it…6th graders making it real, making connections, and building critical thinking skills. #mathematics #teacherlife @PVMS_West @PV_Schools

Building a Classroom Community…”creating belonging through a culture of dignity.” Starting middle school can be intimidating in the beginning…6th graders taking the 1st steps with an ice breaker activity. #community #safetolearn #respectandtrust #math @PVMS_West @PV_Schools

The “ WHY” behind the Math! 6th graders revisit the rules of divisibility, discuss the why, and apply their learning. #Mathematics #teacherlife @PVMS_West @PV_Schools

Serious Discussions in class today! 4th & 5th graders meet again to finalize their team’s decision for the Felix Mystery. Success depends on their ability to collaborate. Looking forward to hearing who they think WHO DONE IT?#collaboration #teacherlife @SkippackE @PV_Schools

A lot of new learned knowledge was shared today!Teaching 1st graders what critical thinking skills are all about is so much easier & fun when they are passionate about learning something new🤓 #teacherlife #CriticalThinking #passionprojects @SkippackE @PV_Schools
