Had a fun morning @StLukeOttawa in Grade 3! Students completed the first Check Your Understanding task by exploring base ten blocks and different representations of numbers! CYU tasks for all grades can be found in the OCSB Math Learning Hub!

Building number lines to develop our understanding of skip counting, and how it relates to addition and multiplication! @StLukeOttawa #ocsbMath

Grade 3s are working on creating an original video game character and coding a song that matches the personality of their character using Beepbox! @StLukeOttawa #ocsb 👩🏻‍💻🎮

The Grade 3s @StLukeOttawa have been learning about data. They’ve been sorting using Venn and Carroll diagrams and conducting their own surveys! #MathUP #ocsbMath 📊

The grade 3s students in @MsMelDemers class @StLukeOttawa did a great job creating shape patterns with counters and representing them with number patterns! #MathUP #ocsbMath

New record for books held by a paper tower! 101 before we started running out of books! The students did an awesome job applying their learning to make these structures super strong! @StLukeOttawa #ocsbSTEM

A great finish to Take Me Outside week! Extending our learning of food chains by playing Prey & Predator, making a colour gradient with nature, cleaning up the Capital and using scraps from Breakfast Club in our Food Cycler! 🍂🪴@StLukeOttawa @ocsbEco #ocsbOutdoors

[Melissa Demers @MsMelDemers]

Students from other classes head out to prepare our garden beds and used some of the fertilizer we made last week with our Food Cycler! 🪴 @StLukeOttawa @ocsbEco #ocsbOutdoors

[Melissa Demers @MsMelDemers]

Today we celebrated #TakeMeOutsideDay by heading out to build some growing and repeating patterns using objects found in nature! @StLukeOttawa @ocsbEco #ocsbOutdoors #ocsbMath

[Melissa Demers @MsMelDemers]

Today, we used the Food Cycler for the first time! Excited to explore connections to the curriculum and beyond with our classes and Eco Club! ♻️ @StLukeOttawa @MissMarascoOCSB @ocsbEco #ocsb

[Melissa Demers @MsMelDemers]

Today we adopted this tree in front of our school! We studied it and drew diagrams in our nature journals. We had a lot of great questions about why the tree was changing. We will continue to study this tree as the seasons change! 🍂🍁@StLukeOttawa @MissMarascoOCSB #ocsbOutdoors

Another year in the books! Wishing my grade 2/3 friends the best summer ever!!! See you in September, @StLukeOttawa! #ocsb ☀️😎🥰

[Melissa Demers @MsMelDemers]

Super successful morning with @dduff77 (AKA Math Man) exploring division and fractions with cuisinaire rods! So much great thinking from the students. They said, “All this math on the board makes it look like we’re in college!” @StLukeOttawa @kimstiffOCSB #ocsbMath

[Melissa Demers @MsMelDemers]

Today, students created spheres with partners! They used the pan balance to determine whether they had the same mass, then explored fractions by testing whether 1/2 of the sphere would have the same mass as 2/4 of the sphere! @StLukeOttawa #ocsbmath
