Modelling and building patterns today in #math! @SienaDPCDSB @DP_math

[Ms. Florindo @FlorindoMs]

Covering all all our learning goals by extending, predicting, and describing patterns! We also communicated our thinking, and discussed how to take our explanations to the next level! @SienaDPCDSB @DP_math

[Ms. Florindo @FlorindoMs]

Translating patterns from a table of values to graphs today to show different types of patterns! @SienaDPCDSB @DP_math

[Ms. Florindo @FlorindoMs]

Happy Halloween from our spooky class! @SienaDPCDSB

[Ms. Florindo @FlorindoMs]

Looking at terms, term values, and tables of values in math today! Stretching our thinking to extend our knowledge of patterns! #mathiscool @SienaDPCDSB @DP_math

[Ms. Florindo @FlorindoMs]

Collaborative learning happening in our grade 4/5 class! Building learning skills, communicating our thinking, and working together to solve problems and share ideas! @SienaDPCDSB

[Ms. Florindo @FlorindoMs]

Exploring algebraic patterns in #math today! @DP_math @SienaDPCDSB

[Ms. Florindo @FlorindoMs]

When Ss make meaningful connections by being actively involved in the learning process, they take responsibility of their learning and better understand concepts- even with more challenging problems! @SienaDPCDSB @DP_math @DPCDSBSchools

[Ms. Florindo @FlorindoMs]

Representing, ordering, comparing decimals using our online tools! Ss loved using technology to explore our learning focus today! @SienaDPCDSB @DP_math @DPCDSBSchools

[Ms. Florindo @FlorindoMs]

Presenting our findings from our learning inquiry about decimals! Explaining our thinking in math is 50 percent of the task! Ss loved working together on this! @SienaDPCDSB @DP_math

[Ms. Florindo @FlorindoMs]

Comparing whole numbers, and recognizing that communicating our thinking is just as important as arriving at the “correct” answer, in math! @SienaDPCDSB @DP_math

[Ms. Florindo @FlorindoMs]

Accessing our lessons on Google Classroom to follow along and use our virtual manipulatives to represent numbers! Also using the tools in our classroom to show what we know! @SienaDPCDSB @DP_math

[Ms. Florindo @FlorindoMs]

Representing numbers in many different ways! Even including a super duper challenge question for those ss who wanted to stretch their thinking even more! @SienaDPCDSB @DP_math

[Ms. Florindo @FlorindoMs]

Communicating our thinking and strengthening our mental math muscles! @SienaDPCDSB @DP_math

[Ms. Florindo @FlorindoMs]

Learning about complete and simple subjects and predicates in Language Arts today! This will help students as we begin our Paragraph of the Week writing program this week! @SienaDPCDSB @DpLiteracy

[Ms. Florindo @FlorindoMs]

Flexing our math muscles! Looking at numbers, and making sure we understand that the place of a digit in a number is important! As always, Ss communicate and explain their thinking as they notice the pattern when making smaller and larger numbers! @SienaDPCDSB @DP_math

[Ms. Florindo @FlorindoMs]

Building a growth Mindset in Math! #first20daysofmath @SienaDPCDSB @DP_math

[Ms. Florindo @FlorindoMs]

Using Google Jamboard to share our thoughts on what qualities make a good friend. Ss shared their sticky notes, and we used them to collaboratively build a paragraph! #teachingwithtech @SienaDPCDSB @DpLiteracy

[Ms. Florindo @FlorindoMs]

Say it, believe it, live it! Positive Affirmations are part of our morning routine! It sets the tone for our day! @SienaDPCDSB @DPCDSBSchools

[Ms. Florindo @FlorindoMs]

Building competency and communication in math! Today, Ss had to decide which shape doesn’t belong , and explain their choice. We discovered that there are many different justifications for an answer that makes sense! @SienaDPCDSB
