The year isolating variables became quarantining variables.

Today my 6th grade students decided to have an “election” at recess to determine a “playground president”. The “election” ended with nearly half the 6th grade in a very aggressive shoving/shouting match between the two sides. #thekidsarewatching

@blatherwick_sam @StudyMaths @JoLocke1 @LaSalleEd I think the major advantage is exposure to the concept. One of the greatest areas of struggle with my 6th grade Ss is fractions. When presented with problems such as 4x=1, they totally freeze. The practice with the inverse property alone would be valuable for my Ss.

Got to see one of my students ride tonight, had an amazing conversation with her dad, AND got to pet horses! This teacher had a good day.

@MathSciWhy @nikfarmath2 Couldn’t agree more!! And fractions! Fractions are a big one!

S - “This made absolutely no sense. But the picture! Once you showed us (student’s) picture now it makes perfect sense.”

Connecting visuals to equations is so powerful for students! #mathchat

S- “Smells like math in here... I like it.”
Nothing like a 6th grader’s stream of conscience to soften an edgy day.

Students were becoming frustrated with a map drawing assignment from S.S. teacher. We explored how using coordinate planes and mapping one point at a time can help. Math saves the day! 🦸‍♀️ #crossdisciplinaryteaching
