It has been an incredible learning journey with my @brownridgeps family for the last 13 years. Thank you to staff, parents, Mr. Gold, and our amazing students for your love and kindness. You have given me wings to fly, and BPS will always be my home away from home. I'll miss you!
A lesson on visualizing patterns led our Gr8s @brownridgeps to coming up with 4 formulas for the general term (which all came be derived to 4n+4) and a teaser on multiplying 2 binomials using the FOIL method.
Gr 8s @brownridgeps are looking at visualizing patterns and using it to help them find the general term. Always nice using the innovation room for math!
Our friends in the community class also enjoyed this activity and asked if I could leave it for them to continue into the next class! β€β€β€ @brownridgeps
I needed a math activity to engage my very tired Gr 8s @brownridgeps after a 3 day 2 night trip to Muskoka Woods, so I turned to one of my faves. How can you create a fence using pentominoes with a maximum area on the inside?
