Could be a good non-curricular #thinkingclassroom task.

Today, I used #Choralcounting counting to introduce the concept of multiplication with hundreds. This led to our discussion of Today’s Number.

Calling all LCPS Ts using Edia! I'm presenting "Next Steps with Edia" on 9/20 in the Heritage Library. Join me to connect with other Edia Ts, debrief the launch of Edia in your classroom, and discuss the analytics! Sign up in PowerSchool (Section #12345). @LCPS_Math @RoarPride

My favorite way to introduce adding integers to my 6th graders! Students worked together to solve real life scenarios and come up with patterns and connections they noticed when adding integers! #middleschoolmath

Discovering good collaboration with new classmates using an engaging noncurricular math task! #FirstDayOfSchool #ThinkingClassroom #6thgrade @MrsCWallen @MsProctor_Math @RBMS_Official

The Tax Collector task is my favorite!

@JulieHoganLCPS we should use this image in BEAM! I haven’t described it as jumps before and I like it.

[Howie Hua @howie_hua]

And with division of fractions, one model is to think of the divisor as the size of the jump and the dividend as the finish line. How many jumps will it take to reach the finish line when starting from 0? For 2 1/2 ÷ 3/4, it takes 3 1/3 jumps.

(6/8)

It’s going to be a fun summer!!

Our team is hard at work prepping welcome bags for the students attending the BEAM Summer Math Discovery Program!

Questions while reading Building Thinking Classrooms- is the lesson plan on pg 291 what every class looks like? Do we still work with small groups for targeted instruction? When do we include manipulatives? (loving the book so far btw!!) @pgliljedahl #thinkingclassroom

[Laura Mathurin @Ms_Mathurin]

Exploring (and tasting!) the science of baking with Ms. Cribbs at MMS STEAM Night! @LCPS_Mercer

[Lauren Marcous @MrsMarcous_Math]

I’ve started reading @pgliljedahl Thinking Classroom book with 6th and 7th grade teachers. I’m excited to get to this place!!

[Light All Stars @lightallstars]

Thank you supporting our learning today.

What a great way to combine rich tasks and wipebooks! @cstine @Smarts_Mill

[Brett Johnson @MrJohnsonJMU27]

Ss used the Origo Think Cards today to complete a collaborative station rotation activity! Lots of brain power was being used in room 813 this morning! Beautiful recording sheet made by @jillhand26 and @MrHoyler @BAM_MS_Official @LCPS_Math

[Lorraine Stewart @raine9stewart]

Stations run by former students/current NJHS 8th graders were such a success! @debdsheridan thanks for helping us make these opportunities happen! @MrsCWallen @ccmcteach @mytinybug

[Lauren Marcous @MrsMarcous_Math]

Can you use fraction towers to divide ⅔ by ⅛ ? This student thinks the answer might be 5 ½. What do you think? @LCPS_Math

[Lauren Marcous @MrsMarcous_Math]

Remember in person training?? I had fun playing with math today with these secondary teachers!♟🎲@LCPS_Math @JLunieski @brady_math @mytinybug @MrsCWallen @raine9stewart @JNibbsMath & more!!

[River Bend M.S. @RBMS_Official]

A great opportunity for rising 6th graders - RBM 101

I was in a Grade 9 class on Friday and gave them this task which gave them lots of opportunities to show their algebraic thinking. More details in this blog post: https://t.co/JGgzMRKXaX

Algebra by stealth this morning… working out how many sweeties I need to fill party bags. 10 mins in one pupils shouts out “hold on…. this is algebra!!” 🤣🤣🤣
