@orlandobowen Having the perspective of others who need me to show up and give them a fair chance at the game of life #thankyou

@SCDSB_Schools @cookstowncps @kcheesmanscdsb @igniteincite At the home of the Cougars, great seasonal spirit - found the elf on the shelf; saw the food drive efforts; and witnessed the admin trying to ensure that they got the treats from the DS class chefs (& I’m not the mayor!)

Students explained how they connected math ideas and used efficient communication strategies today when solving our problem @Harriett_Todd @scdsbmath #scdsbfirst20 days of #math

[Neil Finney @igniteincite]

Wow! Look where our #numberstring took us today! Exponents that are negative and result in “reverse” doubling (also known as halving:) we also made connections to computers and video games (8bit; 16bit; 64bit) @Harriett_Todd @scdsbmath #scdsbfirst20 days of #math

[Neil Finney @igniteincite]

Lots of perseverance and productive struggle during the #27cubes task. But we did have at least one student find a working solution! @Harriett_Todd @scdsbmath #scdsbfirst20

Jays didn’t quite make the playoffs this year….but the #math must go on! @Harriett_Todd @scdsbmath #scdsbmath

Our first student-led #numbertalk of the year. “How Many?” and “How Do You Know?” @scdsbmath @Harriett_Todd

More #numberstrings today and a focus on #partialproducts and decomposing numbers to support unknown multiplication facts @scdsbmath #scdsbfirst20 days of math @Harriett_Todd

[Neil Finney @igniteincite]

Listening closely to student COMMUNICATION as part of our Day 11 #scdsbfirst20 days of Math. Decomposing by place value and partial products to use what I know to find out what I don’t know YET (this string pulled from an earlier day) @scdsbmath @Harriett_Todd

[Harriett Todd PS @Harriett_Todd]

Day 8 of #scdsbfirst20 days of #math and we used visibly random groups to collaborate and leverage the knowledge of the room to push our thinking. Working backwards helped this group to find a solution! @Harriett_Todd @scdsbmath

Multiplication #numberstring today in Day 6 of Gr. 8 #scdsbfirst20 days of #math. We used facts we know to help with facts we don’t YET know…and visualizing money too @Harriett_Todd @scdsbmath
