Teaching kids how to think...using math as a context.

[Peter Sacheli @k5mathgcdisney]

It was a chilly and windy day, but we found a fun way to practice multiplication facts. Could be adapted for division, addition or subtraction easily. #wds1920 #gcpride

The @gcwaltdisney STEM Club has experimented with different linkages. Now they are starting to design their toys. Lots of great teamwork. #gcpride #wds1920

[Peter Sacheli @k5mathgcdisney]

These @gcwaltdisney 3rd graders are taking The Locker Game problem from @IllustrateMath very seriously. They have revised their approach to solving the problem 3 times and have not been discouraged. #wds1920 #gcpride

[Peter Sacheli @k5mathgcdisney]

Exploring forces with some clever K-FIT students. Pushes, pulls, and magnets. #wds1920 #gcpride

[Peter Sacheli @k5mathgcdisney]

Playing “Pass The Pigs” with the @gcwaltdisney game club and having a blast. #wds1920 #gcpride

[Peter Sacheli @k5mathgcdisney]

The @gcwaltdisney STEM Club making some creative toys while exploring linkages. Dare I say “more cowbell!”#wds1920 #gcpride

[Peter Sacheli @k5mathgcdisney]

@AmoreIRT @AmoreIRT they do the same with me.

[Peter Sacheli @k5mathgcdisney]

The @gcwaltdisney STEM Club hard at work building toys. Measuring, cutting, hammering and learning how to work with other people. #gcpride #wds1920

2nd graders practice counting by 10s as they toss 10s rods in a bucket. The scorekeepers highlight the 10s on the 100s chart. Crazy fun in math today. The next round we tossed dimes. #wds1920 #gcpride

Regardless of how high #preschoolers can rote count, a child’s sense of what those numbers actually mean develops gradually. We call this understanding NUMBER SENSE, and it requires relating numbers to real quantities.

Kids who meet their learning goals get a “brag” phone call home. Hopefully this particular 4th grader gets spoiled tonight. #wds1920 #gcpride

[Peter Sacheli @k5mathgcdisney]

10 Pin Limbo from @gregtangmath is a great way to start the day! We are sharpening up our basic facts and ability to decompose numbers. #wds1920 #gcpride https://t.co/zINAa51X6j

Today the kindergarten students played More/Less Memory. They turn over a cup, count the cubes and then find another cup that has either more or less than that. #wds1920 #gcpride

[Peter Sacheli @k5mathgcdisney]

A great group of kindergarten students doing their first @SteveWyborney splats. They can’t get enough! #wds1920

[Peter Sacheli @k5mathgcdisney]

Kindergarteners sharpening up their 1:1 correspondence and count sequence by moving some baby worms down the hexagon sidewalk. Fun on a rainy day. #wds1819

[Peter Sacheli @k5mathgcdisney]

Just a warning @XtraMath_US; these students will be earning their certificate for fact mastery soon. We just wanted to celebrate the growth they are making on the way to mastery. #wds1819 #gcpride

[Peter Sacheli @k5mathgcdisney]

This 5th grader is using @msexcel to represent the Account Balances problem from @mathforumprealg. We learned that you had better take an estimate when applying formulas or you may not be conscious of an error. #wds1920

[Peter Sacheli @k5mathgcdisney]

New game: Hundred Chart Treasure Hunt. We are practicing adding a multiple of 10 to a 2-digit number. It was a hit and the kids want it to be in our rotation of games. #wds1920 #gcpride

[Peter Sacheli @k5mathgcdisney]

Kindergarten students practicing accurate counting by constructing figures with snap cubes. #wds1819 #gcpride

[Peter Sacheli @k5mathgcdisney]

5th graders playing @mathematicalrun and quickly realizing that this simple game requires you to maintain your attention constantly and that there is always room to improve. Building executive functioning. #wds1819
