Interesting ideas about federal and provincial taxes arose from our UOI discussion about different levels of governments responsibilities. This reflection made my day!

Goal setting preparation in Grade 5 for student led conferences has begun. Think these kids have a pretty good understanding of what a goal is!

The class enjoyed their trip to IKEA with a budget of $5000 or ¥25000 to spend on furnishing their new apartments. Great way to practise rounding in a real life context with links to budgeting!

Peer conferences during our writers workshop focusing on asking questions to guide the discussion and get the feedback we need as a writer

[Toby May @TMaypyp]

Inquiring into reading and writing large numbers and using spaces and commas as markers to insert place value words.

[Toby May @TMaypyp]

Space invaders 👾 a place value game the kids love! Competitive and open ended

[Toby May @TMaypyp]

More math inquiry into the number 12 and visual representations of it from Grade 5

[Toby May @TMaypyp]

Really enjoying the students ideas as we deep dive into our unit on number

If the first weeks questions and discussions are anything to go by… it’s going to be a great year! What do writes do?

[Toby May @TMaypyp]

Helping children to engage with the Learner Profile Attributes by writing mnemonics. One of the best I’ve seen! Tomorrow, chalk talk and discussion about what they mean to the students day to day. #ibpyp
