Looking forward to presenting GECDSB’s work in relation to critical transitions in Early Math at the MKN conference in Kingston tomorrow with this amazing team. #gecdsbproud @MlleParaschak @Freeman_Gr1

Using growing sea creatures to consolidate some of our learning about measurement. How can we measure these creatures? How large will they become? Ss collaborated to explore, question, experiment and estimate. Now to watch them grow! #mathisfun #mathchat

Playing Guess My Number with a #numberpath. Ss used great mathematical language to describe and compare different numbers by giving clues. “This number is only the top row of a ten frame filled in, so it is half of ten!” Awesome inspiration from @superdouper1 and @MyNssacksen!

@McLennan1977 @superdouper1 @ErinPhillips36 So great to see two totally different and meaningful ways to code. The Learning Carpet and another with added elements. Fantastic! Shows how you can code with what you already have!

[Mrs. Kathy Freeman @Freeman_Gr1]

@MsLauraCollins @McLennan1977 What a fantastic way to make the game meaningful and purposeful for your sweet learners. Great idea @MsLauraCollins!

@booklamations @McLennan1977 @a_thompsonclass @BedeauGail @albrown_tdsb Me too! Me too! 😊

[Mrs. Kathy Freeman @Freeman_Gr1]

@a_thompsonclass @booklamations @ETFOPLEYKto3 I wish I had shared in this learning with you. Such a powerful and important focus!

[Mrs. Kathy Freeman @Freeman_Gr1]

@a_thompsonclass @McLennan1977 @ETFOPLEYKto3 It was so wonderful to connect! Let’s keep in touch ☺️

[Mrs. Kathy Freeman @Freeman_Gr1]

All set up and excited to present about #coding again at #etfopley conference. Looking forward to a weekend of great learning. @McLennan1977 @ETFOPLEYKto3

[Mrs. Kathy Freeman @Freeman_Gr1]

@superdouper1 @MyNssacksen So wonderful to connect! I’ll be sure to share the number path activities we try in the weeks to come! Thank you for the inspiration! 🙂

[Mrs. Kathy Freeman @Freeman_Gr1]

So many fantastic number path and number line activities presented by @superdouper1 and @MyNssacksen. Excited to use many next week with my Ss! #ETFOpley Great inspiration!

[Mrs. Kathy Freeman @Freeman_Gr1]

Fantastic weekend of growth and learning at @ETFOeducators Playful Learning in the Early Years conference. Always a pleasure to travel and work with @McLennan1977. Crazy journey home through #ONstorm #noflights

[Mrs. Kathy Freeman @Freeman_Gr1]

How can we use number paths to help children develop their mathematical understanding? Looking forward to some great learning with @superdouper1 and @MyNssacksen!

Great spatial reasoning learning, ideas, examples and next steps. Our young learners are capable and competent. Leaving inspired! Thank you @Mrs_Penlington, @kristinwillms and @mrs_dt #ETFOpley

[Mrs. Kathy Freeman @Freeman_Gr1]

Looking forward to unpacking more spatial reasoning understanding with @Mrs_Penlington, @kristinwillms and @mrs_dt #ETFOpley

[Mrs. Kathy Freeman @Freeman_Gr1]

@WilsonMlle Absolutely @wilsonmlle! We always have our fingers with us. Our first and most reliable manipulative! 👍🏼🙂

It is important to allow students to draw their mathematical thinking to help solidify their mathematical understanding. Thank you to Dr. Nathalie Sinclair for important math research, best practices and next steps. @SFU #ETFOpley

[Mrs. Kathy Freeman @Freeman_Gr1]

“Let them count on their fingers.” Powerful reminders from Dr. Nathalie Sinclair, to allow children to use all modalities while developing deep mathematical understanding. Einstein counted on his fingers! @sfu #ETFOpley
