@EliseGravel Parfait, comme toujours.

@howie_hua I see it as (almost) 4 groups of 5, so 20 and then I take away the two missing 2s, so 16

Thinking about estimating and rounding today...

@Lotty08361393 @NinjaBellFencer @DominicCardy And that is also terrible. But school staff have vaccines but no distancing or masks.

[Sarah Roach @MissusRoach]

@jmerritt_coy Yes! I reminded some middle schoolers today that this was a much easier strategy than “borrowing” for subtraction and they were completely baffled.

@teachergoals @Leo_JamesLeves Snacks. Free snacks.

Or have a blank game board and have students pull cards with tasks on them. Highly recommend the 1-4 die though. @ThinkArtStuff is always my go-to for cool dice 🎲

[Sarah Roach @MissusRoach]

Today in made-up games by yours truly: practicing teen numbers! Roll the cool die (to get a low number so the game lasts longer) and move your marker (dino) that many spaces. Read the number, show it in 2 ways.

You could absolutely do this with math at any level. Tell me your grade 8 kids wouldn’t love battling to see whose dino (or Pokemon, or ostrich…) gets to the finish line first. Each space could have an equation, a shape to name, an angle to find…or a combination!

@WeAreTeachers Being spotted at the liquor (or, imagine, the cannabis) store. You’re part of the reason I’m here, Patricia. Back off.

[Sarah Roach @MissusRoach]

If you didn’t get enough twos stuff today, give this a go

#MathGals I have only just discovered these and I LOVE them! Lots of options. https://t.co/hS2kD32RU5

I don't remember when we made this change, but all our #fractiontalks are now viewable in a gallery.

Another great resource by the lovely and talented @EliseGravel available in English and French)

[Sarah Roach @MissusRoach]

@DonnaMarie1327 Definitely needs to be fleshed out but the 2 stream system with different entry points is far from ideal, and most of our grads aren’t coming out with more than basic conversational French currently. I got excited for what may be meaningful change 🙃

[Sarah Roach @MissusRoach]

Yes to all of this. Yes yes. Start this fall with the Ks.

[Jacques Poitras @poitrasCBC]

The report recommends a new universal French-second-language instruction program in English schools.

@howie_hua Pencil. It feels weird and messy to use pen.

@Mrs_MandyDavis @MsThomas222 So if the mailman is walking toward the house at 3km/ h and I am barking at a rate of 45 barks per minute…
