When a grading system gives opportunities for students to improve like retakes and resubmissions, the end of the quarter is a great opportunity. Yes I'm inputting grades right up until the end, but I also get to see student improvement quantified.
After solving an open ended problem individually, 5th graders brought their original ideas to their teams, working collaboratively to create one poster that communicates their mathematical thinking and problem solving skills! #proud#exemplar#math#casadecooke
Yesterday 5th graders classified triangles by their sides and angles, calculated the missing interior and exterior angles, AND coded Dash robots to trace the triangles! Thank you @icetchr for putting together such an engaging and integrative STEM lesson! #casadecooke
Future scientists at work! Students collaborated to make scientific inquires as they determined the differences between mixtures and solutions during one of our labs. ๐ #casadecooke
