So excited to begin my learning today to build math minds! Ss need to be the “leader of their learning” and embrace the struggle to become independent learners. Our job is to “coach them to move themselves” in their learning #buildmathminds21

What a perfect day to get outside to do some coding...with chalk! Ss are learning to give and follow directions using codes and directional language.

@mmeznotins @HeatherMeadCamp Awesome! I would love to hear how you used the jamboard to go with the esti-mystery

Last week we went back in time to visit some ancient civilizations! Gr. 4’s built buildings, minecraft creations, tried recipes, and artwork from that time period. @RogersPS1

Some tessellation math art! Students enjoyed exploring translations and patterns through art - it was great to have some art on showcase during our show and share google meet! Way to go Grade 4/5's @RogersPS1

@Ms_PepallsClass @scratch @EdTechTeamCAN @KimPollishuke @S_Weyrich This is awesome!

Had so much fun this morning learning about coding in a CS First Webinar from @EdTechTeamCAN

Check out my first creation: https://t.co/VCO8YicXox Can't wait to bring coding into the classroom and learn so much more!

Ss were asked to calculate the volume of rectangular prisms at home using boxes, Lego, Minecraft, or an online manipulative. Check out these awesome creations - if you look closely, you can even see the formulas! 👏🏼

Ss started contributing to this collaborative Google Jamboard Character Map in response to our class read aloud. They used other pages to ask questions, make connections, and even visualize using images from the web. So very proud of them! @RogersPS1

[Ms.Sproxton @Ms_Sproxton]

Try it Tuesday! Today we tried Jamboard on our Google Classroom as a tool to share our learning/ideas. Thinking of using it for collaborating with reading groups, math talks, or other group activities. Any ideas? #yrdsbdlrt #yrdsb

[Ms.Sproxton @Ms_Sproxton]

Learning about mental math strategies to help when solving multiplication and division problems! Today students practiced using a variety of strategies through a mental math investigation.

[Ms.Sproxton @Ms_Sproxton]

Introduction to procedural writing started with teaching our little buddies in JK/SK how to make a paper airplane. Such a valuable discussion afterwards about purpose, audience, and detail in our writing. And to top it all off...a lesson on how to tie your shoelaces. 👟✔️#yrdsb

using online math manipulatives to consolidate learning ✅ #yrdsbmath

[Ms.Sproxton @Ms_Sproxton]

Setting some goals for the new year! Students picked one word to describe their focus for 2020, explained why they chose the word and planned out 3 action steps to take to achieve their goal.

Playing BOXED OUT in gr.4/5 math to build our understanding of calculating area as we begin our measurement unit #yrdsbmath

@ms_iharrison @gordonkorman These are incredible!
