Daily Cumulative Review questions for the month of September - Grades 3-8.
This #math warm-up is based on cognitive science and is a retrieval practice strategy.
Schools are seeing tremendous growth with this strategy.

I had never truly understood the difference between a guess and an estimate until @mr_stadel broke it down using the context of a ketchup bottle. Check it out so you understand too: https://t.co/AdZKodzCkH #iteachmath
These WIM activities NEED to be a part of what you plan to do with Ss early in the year. They help to create a numeracy environment where Ss will thrive and they reinforce what is valued in your numeracy classroom @SunriseSDMB
It’s National French Fry Day! Which is your favourite? Check out the link for several interesting graphics for data analysis & interpretation with Ss. These would lead to some interesting predictions, discoveries & mathematical conversations! @SunriseSDMB https://t.co/43wQPOIADc
The @BTCthinks team are excited to unveil the new https://t.co/B2nABK6QqI site. You'll find it full of new information on BTC, books, thinking tasks, research, events, consulting, merchandise and more! We hope the site is valuable to the #buildingthinkingclassrooms community. 1/2
The @BTCthinks approach was alive & well Grade 4 while Ss worked through mild, medium & spicy problems involving Canadian Coins found in their Math Tool Kits! Ss are asking for vertical, non-permanent surfaces & random group opportunities more often! @SunriseSDMB@pgliljedahl
In Grade 2, Ss explored a @gfletchy 3-Act Math Task exploring balance & equality. So cool to see balance scales, pattern blocks, white boards and more to represent Ss mathematical thinking & persevere through struggle productively while trying to find many solutions @SunriseSDMB
Also in Gr 4, Ss shared a very high level of mathematical discourse while talking their way through their thinking in the “Mystery Box” warm up routine by @SteveWyborney I through a couple of “twists” their way on the fly and Ss responded very well (100 became 82) @SunriseSDMB
In Grade 4, Math Workshop allows Ss to work in small groups doing various jobs. The teacher is a station which allows her the opportunity to provide small group instruction to Ss who have a similar need! @SunriseSDMB
In Grade 5, Ss shared a game they have been playing that focuses on place value, probability & rational numbers (decimals) ALL Ss have learned to accurately read or “say” rational numbers while creating values in hopes of trying to beat their teacher!
Numeracy Residency walk thrus continue to allow Ts the opportunity to showcase some learning they have transformed into their regular teaching practice. It is very rewarding to see Ss responding so well. Engagement & thinking opportunities through problem solving! @SunriseSDMB
Always enjoy seeing Math learning being showcased and made visible on bulletin board displays. Here are a couple of the ones I saw today in one of our schools… @SunriseSDMB
Math. Teams of 3 decide on items to total 24 hours. Calculate cost and calories.
The team with the highest ratio of hours-to-calories-to-cost gets a coupon for free fries at McDonald's.
Immersed in Grade 12 Provincial Exam marking! Great information sharing from our Ts that attended provincial training and fantastic discussion around student work! @SunriseSDMB
There are so many numbers to dig into in sport. For the upcoming Stanley Cup Final, how far with the teams travel if the series goes 4 games? 5? 6? 7? If the flight take 5 hours 36 minutes, how long will they spend in the airplane over a 4, 5, 6 or 7 game series? @SunriseSDMB
