Parklawn 5th graders got creative finding angles in the real world around our school, then measuring and classifying them. What angles do you see? @ParklawnFCPS
Third graders work together to share strategies as part of a multiplication game in our Extended Learning Time program. This week we are deciding which strategies work best for different problems!
Pairs of students from @msveenstra5 โs class use yarn to calculate the relationship between the diameter and circumference of a circle before coming to a class consensus.

We had a record turnout tonight for Math Night at @ParklawnFCPS tonight! Thank you so much to all our teachers, volunteers, and student families for participating in a wonderful night of math!
I want to take a moment to thank everyone at @DomEnergyVA and our FCPS staff for all the hard work they are out there doing to get our schools and homes up and running again! Your service is so appreciated!
ELT students filled out a survey today at the start of our program, and on the last page had a chance to answer some โgetting to know youโ questions. I loved the responses ๐
Today I had lunch with a student I worked with last year. She told me โwhen I moved here everyone told me you were the best teacher. Then the first time I worked with you I saw you were such a kind person and I thought โthis could be my new favorite teacher.โ ๐๐ญ๐ค
We took advantage of the wonderful weather to get outside for some math movement today! We timed ourselves doing different activities and shared strategies for determining if the number of second each activity took was even or odd.
Last week, our third grade groups explored place value and the relationships in the base ten system by creating different representations of numbers and comparing values. The hard work continues this week!
Introโd fractions to my 2nd graders by reading โOne Hungry Cat.โ While reading students worked out how to share a cake with 3 people - such a progression of thought in the models they created! They started out cutting too many pieces, to unequal sizes, to perfect sharing!
