Day 3! Ss loved creating their own snowflakes using patterns and symmetry. We explored some tech and tech-free design options. @tvdsbmathk8

Day 1 of the December Math Challenge! Lots of great conversations about strategies, metric units and organizing our thinking! @tvdsbmathk8

Who says you can’t have fun in French class? Today we reinforced numbers and possessive pronouns with a game of Go Fish. Students accepted the challenge of no English for 10 minutes! @byron_somerset @TVDSBFSL

1) Okay, so the Ontario Gov't just announced parents would get $250 per kid to "enhance learning". Let's look at one example of what that money could do if it was directed to schools instead of used as a political bribe to parents.

We explored rotational symmetry this morning while using Polypad to build rangolis. Love how these turned out! Happy Diwali!

Try some #DIWALI Rangoli STEM with your class this week! The linked Google slides include a Diwali read-aloud, 2D geometric and spatial reasoning task, coding connections, and a hands-on experimental design prompt! #math #science #STEM #STEAM #CRRP

Here are 4 sketchnotes of the 4 toolkits from @pgliljedahl's #thinkingclassroom.

These versions now have a better citation of the book.

I hope they inspire discussion about how to make learning more accessible to more students!

Teachers, to start off 2022, I'm offering two free 30-minute virtual appearances. I can talk about writing, share a preview of I Survived in progress, or whatever you would like. No limit to the number of students, can do grades 3-8. RT to enter. I will notify winners 1/10.

[Kiersten McBurney @mrsmcb_edu]

Resharing the link to the digital templates I’ve created over the past few years. Feel free to use any of them with your class! https://t.co/rXTzvE9SmI #onted

@Dr_Laura_Glz @SherriMLondON @lapizzolato @DirFisherTVDSB @TVDSB Congratulations @Dr_Laura_Glz ! We are so lucky to have you!

[Kali Best @KBestEdu]

We estimated our hearts out today! One student even had the correct estimate from the get-go! @tvdsbmathk8 #tvdsbtweetmathk8

[Kali Best @KBestEdu]

This one had Ss stumped, but a bit of work with some friendly numbers and a number line, and we got to an answer for the regular sized candy canes. We will save the small ones for another day :) @tvdsbmathk8 #tvdsbtweetmathk8

[Kali Best @KBestEdu]

Day 8! Ss helped out Santa with some unplugged coding. This led to lots of great convos about efficiency when we were discussing the different paths that had been created. #tvdsbtweetmathk8 @tvdsbmathk8

[Tony Vincent @tonyvincent]

☃️ Spin a Winter Story! Students get inspiration to write a short story by spinning three wheels. Chances are the story starter will be pleasantly preposterous!

Day 7! This one led to a great convo about how different number sentences are connected. #tvdsbtweetmathk8
