What a positive buzz during 'Authors Showcase'. Students learning, pride and happiness very evident. Thanks to all the parents for visiting. @MrsCaccianiga @Ms_RBarron @AitkenCreekPS
Continuing with our graduation rich task planning for numeracy. Students explored fractions of a quantity where they weighed items identified serving sizes and represented them as fractions. @AitkenCreekPS@_Mrs_Shah
We are using tape to help us create angles and compare them with right angles! “If the angle is smaller than 90 degrees it’s acute!”

Explaining why there’s such a shortage of teachers seems to be a simple lesson: modern classrooms are nothing like the places of chalk and talk they once were. #60Mins
We used numberlines to help us calculate change. “The numberlines are easier because I can add the dollars and then the cents to find the difference!”
@AitkenCreekPS@_Mrs_Shah@MissGraue
4F and 4A are practising using scaled measurements to measure how far our paper planes are travelling! “Mine went 8 metres but I thought it would only go 4 metres” @Tania_Hente@MissGraue@AitkenCreekPS
3A using informal measurement tools to figure out which crooked path is the longest! "We know the third line is the longest because it is 18 counters long where the others are 12 and 14 counters long" - Zeina @AitkenCreekPS@_Mrs_Shah
Use of Google Jamboard, virtual dice and WebEx breakout rooms to engage students in Maths games. Remote or not - learning goes on. @krystal12983615@AitkenCreekPS
Engaging in our 3C Number Talk through the use of number strings. It was great to see ALL students engaging in this safe learning space and students being exposed to different strategies by their peers @AitkenCreekPS@_Mrs_Shah#mentalmath#computationstrategies
6E had a special visit from our numeracy leader @_Mrs_Shah where they were creating clues for 2 digit numbers for their pair to guess the prime or composite numbers.
