Gifted Services and the Mathematics Office have collaborated to bring Project M2- Exploring Number Games, to our first grade classes. We are excited for all of the students to stretch their minds even more in these last weeks of school. @APSGifted @APSMath
Lots of thinking about attributes and geometry with second grade. Triple Venn Diagrams, building 3D structures out of cubes/counting exposed faces, and my favorite brain numbing game Chocolate Fix! @TuckahoeSchool
Being strategic about how to create equations that are balanced, no matter where the equal sign is in the equation. Excited to take Squeeze Play back to math workshop in second grade!
Using each digit only one time, create an equation with the sum closest to 10,000. Today I learned there are multiple answers to this problem! These fourth graders truly understand place value!
A Yeti footprint was found and it was twice the size of a third graders footprint! Using third grade body measurements, and doubling them, the classes created models of what they thought a Yeti’s size would be. Such a fun collaboration! @TuckahoeSchool
Hands on Equations makes learning algebraic concepts concrete and visual. Love when teachers reflect with me on how different their learning would have been if they had been taught algebra with this tool!
We have been LOVING the new Project A3 activities for Geometry! How many intersections are possible for a set number of lines? Creative thinking and collaboration at its best! #TuckahoeRocks@TuckahoeSchool
Using a table to extend patterns algebraically! Such good problem solvers in fourth grade! How many chairs would you need if there were 50 tables? @TuckahoeSchool
In early Jamestown, why did so many colonists die?” Fourth graders know why! So impressed with their analysis of documents to write their first DBQ essay! @APSGifted @TuckahoeSchool
Thinking about the pros and cons of settlement locations for our DBQ in third grade! Excited to hear what these Tribe Elders have decided. #TuckahoeRocks#APSGifted@TuckahoeSchool
Second graders tested their perseverance while thinking about where to place the digits 0-9 so that all equations are accurate and each digit is only used one time. #TuckahoeRocks@TuckahoeSchool
