The principal of Valley View in Duarte USD - their Children's Mathematics: CGI books have arrived! 

Duarte Unified is investing in teachers, not only bringing in professional development sessions and in the classroom coaching, but the research behind it.

“How many ways can you represent?”
From equations to visuals, students explored multiple strategies and reflected during a gallery walk:
-strategies they knew
-strategies that surprised them
What patterns and representations stand out to you in these images?

Counting Collections create space for so many differentiated math ideas to emerge ✨

What empowering choices did these young mathematicians make in how they counted?
What big math ideas surfaced in their work?

One paper or two? 🤔
During Learning Lab Day, teachers paused to notice how a small choice—shared vs. individual paper—shapes collaboration. We reflected, adjusted, and tried something new. Sometimes the best learning starts with a pause.

Doing the math matters.

When we engage with CGI problem types firsthand, we’re better positioned to notice, interpret, and respond to student thinking.

What do you notice in these notes?

These students were using math resources posted around the room to support their counting collections. It sparked some big questions:
What belongs on our classroom walls?
How do students know they can use them?
What wall resources best support our upper-grade learners?

Choral Counting is a powerful space for student thinking and mathematical conjectures 🎶➕
What do you notice about the number of rows and columns—and how might they relate to denominators?
What conjectures would your students make? What questions might they wonder? 🤔📊

The halls of UCLA are open and we’re back to work
Even over break, math never really takes a vacation. One coach tried to snap a photo of her cat… and instead found geometry, symmetry, volume, ratios (coffee to water), and fractions of pages read.

A great day of learning with Rowland USD on 12/19 💡📐
Loved seeing educators collaborate and dive into the Framework together. Thank you for an energizing PD!

NOTICE & WONDER 💧🔍

What do you notice about this collection of water bottles? What do you wonder?

🧠 This is number sense in action: estimating, counting strategies, and comparing quantities.

How many tens are in 109? 🤔
If we only teach digit value in an H-T-O chart, we miss out on the flexibility that comes from number sense + place value!
These students grouped their items into 10 groups of 10 + 1 group of 9 = 109 — and also knew they had 109 ones. 🙌

How might you invite kids to talk about their thinking? 🤩

Counting, sorting, grouping… and LOTS of explaining.

Loved seeing so many “A-Ha” moments during our Nov 3 session! From adult learner insights to Learning Lab classroom visits, the MORCS team made this an inspiring and energizing day. 🙌

🖍️Marker madness! How would you count this?✨

A colorful puzzle in the making, rows of Crayola Ultra-Clean Washable Markers, some boxed and some loose, ready to be sorted and counted. Perfect for testing your organization (and estimation!) skills.🎨💛
