Academic Challenge Competition: Salk vs. Sandburg! How nice it was joining our 2 middle schools for a friendly, fun competition. Congrats to my 6th graders who ended the evening with the 1st place trophy in hand 🏆 All the kids had a great time. Thanks Mr. Garrison for doing this

Thanks @ddmeyer for this perspective.

The purpose of a math class should not be to teach students rules and steps to follow to solve problems. This is especially true now, when students have access to so many online resources and tools that can show them how to solve problems or that can just give them the answers.

What's the point of math class?

[Alicia Tennaro @MrsTennaro]

Ratios are everywhere 🤓 After investigating the ratios within circles as part of our Pi Day celebration, students are now ready to explore the ratios in their own bodies! #iteachmath #mathiseverywhere #handsonlearning #SalkStrong

[Alicia Tennaro @MrsTennaro]

Another successful #PiDay on the books! Every year it seems to get bigger and bigger (and more and more exhausting 😅) but the kids really had a great day and were excited about math! #winning #SalkStrong #ilovemath

[Alicia Tennaro @MrsTennaro]

@ms_gasser Thank you 😁 Same to you!!

[Alicia Tennaro @MrsTennaro]

Such high levels of student engagement and collaboration in this "Capture the Flag" activity introduced to us by our district math coach @swidermath. Ss can't wait to play again! #MakingMathFun #ilovemath #SalkStrong

[Alicia Tennaro @MrsTennaro]

What an amazing application of integer operations! Another trick to add to the math tool box 🤓 #ilovemath #StillLearning

[Howie Hua @howie_hua]

Did you know you can subtract left to right?

[Alicia Tennaro @MrsTennaro]

Lots of group work & discussion in math class this week thanks to some special visits from our Math Coach @swidermath. #LetsGiveThemSomethingToTalkAbout #TeamWork #MathIsFun #SalkStrong

[Alicia Tennaro @MrsTennaro]

Although none of my ss have seen "Father of the Bride", watching a clip from movie helped them understand real world uses of LCM. Ss then worked together to solve similar problems & used linking cubes to model the multiples. #iteachmath #TheyThinkImOld #SalkStrong

[Alicia Tennaro @MrsTennaro]

So proud of how my ss tackled the challenge of their first @openmiddle problem. Can't wait to do another one tomorrow! #SalkStrong #ProblemSolvers #MathIsFun #LetsTalkAboutIt

[Alicia Tennaro @MrsTennaro]

Vocabulary Poster Gallery Walk: Ss walked the "gallery" of the posters they made with their groups in order to review their vocabulary words and fill in the missing parts of their vocabulary notes. First math vocabulary quiz tomorrow! #YesWeDoVocabularyInMath #SalkStrong

[Alicia Tennaro @MrsTennaro]

@howie_hua Thank YOU!

[Alicia Tennaro @MrsTennaro]

Another video I'm going to have to show my students. I can't believe I've never seen division done this way! #AlwaysLearning

[Howie Hua @howie_hua]

How can we divide with a rectangle when there's a remainder?
