TEAM EXCLUSIVE FOR TRAPEZOIDS!!! What team are you on?

[Madison Pines @pines_madison]

Personally I'm #teaminclusive for trapezoids, but I was overrulled. Do you believe a trapezoid has EXACTLY one pair of parallel sides or has AT LEAST one pair of parallel sides? #BUBlockAMath

[Ryan Flessner @ryanflessner]

Here’s what #BUBlockAMath came up with while comparing the blue rhombus with the red trapezoid from the pattern block set. What would you add/change/delete?

My #BUBlockA class engaged with Loris Malaguzzi’s “Your Image of the Child: Where Teaching Begins” and collected these words that represent our Image of Child. What words can you pull out?

What a wonderful first day with our 2nd graders in Ms. Kline’s class. I got to engage with incredible students and witness learning through 100 Chart Puzzles! #BUBlockAMath

#BUBlockAMath I #noticewonder how many different strategies we could use to find how many bales of hay there are!

[Chris Michalyshen @CMichalyshen]

Looking for a fall math warmup?

What do you notice? What do you wonder? How many bales of hay are there? How do you know?

I #noticewonder all the mathematical images and shapes present. I see squares, rectangles, triangles, rhombi, and hexagons. #BUBlockAMath

[Ryan Flessner @ryanflessner]

Hey #BUBlockAMath - I took these pictures in the hallways of Eagle Creek Elementary in @PikeSchools a few years ago. What do you #noticewonder ?

[Ms. Emily MacDonald she/her @Ms_EMacdonald]

Building a school with legos in #BUBlockAMath helped us to curate a list of how we will approach this semester of learning as future math educators.

[Ms. Emily MacDonald she/her @Ms_EMacdonald]

The pattern that jumped out most to me was that the fifth row is all pentagons and multiples of five! #BUBlockAMath

[Ryan Flessner @ryanflessner]

Hey #BUBlockAMath - What patterns do you notice in this number chart from @ms_saralefere’s classroom? @ms_saralefere - What patterns did you and your students notice?

[Ms. Emily MacDonald she/her @Ms_EMacdonald]

@ryanflessner @howie_hua I saw it as (5+5) + (3+3) = 16 #BUBlockAMath
