Guest teacher with CCRSB, tackling math one problem at a time! Love baking, the Blue Jays, books, and other non-B related things.

Our writers aboard the CRS Vigilant have been busy recently! Not content with playing #StarWarsSquadrons, they're also telling stories about their characters' escapades in thrilling battles, daring dogfights and that most hazardous time - shore leave! https://t.co/LfwxrElfMB

[Renegade Wing @RenegadeWing]

Would you like to fly with Renegade Wing? Corsair Squadron has new joining requirements based on #StarWarsSquadrons, in addition to the existing XvT and XWA reqs. Find out more: https://t.co/TKkr2Q0VpT

Just a heads-up: don't be surprised when you meet Corsair's OC! 😉

Another Renegade Wing pilot has been racking up the (virtual) kill markings in #StarWarsSquadrons - congrats to Rogue 3, Dobber (@Bookmaster84) for the first of many excellent victories!

@MichaelPHuber Listening to RS. You have to jump into DCU! Arrow borrows from Batman, The Flash is amazing, Legends of Tomorrow is jolly good fun, and Supergirl (while it is rocky at first) gets better over time. Oh, and Neal McDonough plays Damien Darhk. Don’t be intimidated!

[Andrew Dobson @Bookmaster84]

@MichaelPHuber Love your new game show! Hope this becomes a reality for you and the Allies!

@jillemacd It still sucks, however, and Scotiabank’s freezing of your cards is unusual. I would definitely talk to your account manager or branch client care person.

[Andrew Dobson @Bookmaster84]

@jillemacd It depends on the amount, and whether or not it is a cheque to boot. They essentially want to ensure that there are no fraud instances going on. Usually clients are allowed to have a portion of what they deposit available to them, or be able to withdraw a certain amount....

@bradleyellis87 @TrailerJones @IanHinck @MichaelPHuber Hands down one of the top 3 Fiasconauts you have ever done. Thank you!!!

A7) Place value and number sense come to mind. Proportional reasoning. Subitizing. #elemmathchat

[Andrew Dobson @Bookmaster84]

A5) I noticed that there is a lot of collaborative thinking/reasoning. I wonder how to best structure that into my lessons more effectively. #elemmathchat

[Andrew Dobson @Bookmaster84]

A4) Allow students to get comfortable with concepts and material; also provides a nice change in routine depending on when/what day we are doing things. #elemmathchat

[Andrew Dobson @Bookmaster84]

A3) Can allow students to learn and adapt throughout a topic to extend their understanding and thinking and reasoning. #elemmathchat

[Andrew Dobson @Bookmaster84]

A2) I have implemented frequent formative assessments with my students. Things like Kahoot! quizzes or tickets to leave/entry tickets. Helps me gauge their understanding. Kahoot also great for friendly competition. #elemmathchat

[Andrew Dobson @Bookmaster84]

@GraceKelemanik #elemmathchat I think it depends on how we present information and our teaching styles. Currently teaching math and science ... two very different courses with very different ways of teaching.

[Andrew Dobson @Bookmaster84]

A1) Like because it is a structured method of giving information. Unlike because it doesn't always focus on flexible growth/understanding. #elemmathchat

[Andrew Dobson @Bookmaster84]

Andrew, long-term sub with CCRSB. Joining because I finally have time again over March Break! #elemmathchat

[Andrew Dobson @Bookmaster84]

Hey @neiltyson, my Grade 9 students will be starting their Astronomy unit in a few weeks (with episode one of “Cosmos” no less). Do you have any advice for my future astronomers to be?

[Andrew Dobson @Bookmaster84]

@IanHinck Loved Easy Update! Can we please see Kyle play the level sometime?

[Andrew Dobson @Bookmaster84]

A6: It's like starting in the middle. You can break it down and build it up accordingly. #elemmathchat

[Andrew Dobson @Bookmaster84]

A5: Volume, if I remember correctly, is L x W x H to get cm^3. But I am not sure of the exact dimensions. #elemmathchat
