@CentralCyclone1 @MeganRobi13 I wonder how many apples it takes to make 1L of juice? I'm thirsty! #RCDSBMath

[Mark R @MarkRstudent]

Math awesomeness! It really helps me to stand and move around and talk math with my friends. What did they like about it???
Man, it looks like @RCDSB is doing @pgliljedahl proud! Go team!

@MarkRstudent check this out! #rcdsbmath

[Mark R @MarkRstudent]

Hey @HermanHornets weren’t you just learning about symmetry? Can you help me out with this one? How would you do it? #RCDSBMath

[Angie Miller @angiemiller222]

Up and at 'em VERY early today- how many buns are there? How do you know? @MarkRstudent #RCDSBMath

[Mark R @MarkRstudent]

I love exploring with pattern blocks! And the virtual ones too! They help me for things like fractions even! So cool! My mom said she used them when she was a kid so they must be pretty old. You guys are awesome, @HermanHornets! #RCDSBMath

[Mark R @MarkRstudent]

So what’s everyone up to in math @RCDSB??!! Show me!

The red one! After two weeks of school I got pretty hungry, so I ate two triangles. #rcdsbmath #delicious

[Angie Miller @angiemiller222]

Getting my entries ready for the @carpfair and I can't help but wonder...which one doesn't belong? @WODBMath @MarkRstudent #RCDSBMath

[Mark R @MarkRstudent]

@angiemiller222 @McNab_PS Well that looks like fun! I bet they did some math too - angles, shapes, measuring - my teacher always says, 'math is everywhere'!

[Mark R @MarkRstudent]

All my friends and all the kids @RCDSB writing #EQAO this week - it’s all good! You got this! My mom and teacher say it’s ok to be nervous and it’s going to be ok! We are all rockstars. #rcdsbmath

[Mark R @MarkRstudent]

This looks fun! But...what’s an exploding dot and how does it explode and why does it explode??! I’m exploding with questions!! #RCDSBmath https://t.co/5UXmk2ZrsL

[Angie Miller @angiemiller222]

@jamestanton - @McNab_PS grade 4s love exploding dots! @MarkRstudent #thinkingclassroom #collaboration #RCDSBMath

[Mark R @MarkRstudent]

I think I would build off the octagon shape because I know that’s 6 white triangles because it reminds me of the pattern blocks! I like this but I have to take my time because my eyes get all fuzzy when I’m counting!

Any other strategies @RCDSB? #rcdsbmath https://t.co/lbMhOMYadJ

[RCDSB Elem SST Team @RCDSB_Elem_SSTs]

What other numbers do you see, @MarkRstudent??! https://t.co/QpIeqVFgks

[Mark R @MarkRstudent]

So whatcha doin’ @OAME2018??!!Tweet @MarkRstudent with #RCDSBMath and #OAME2018!

@RCDSB @RCDSB_Elem_SSTs

[Mark R @MarkRstudent]

Hey I heard that some @RCDSB teachers are going to this math thing called @OAME2018. I guess it’s pretty cool cause they sure seem excited! Don’t forget to tweet at me and show me the cool stuff you learn about!!

#RCDSBMath #OAME2018

[Mark R @MarkRstudent]

Ya, Mr, Griffiths, you can’t fool us kids with “anonymous.” We know where that groaner came from!
And Mrs. Miller - you rock!!! We love when math learning is real. And we can eat it?! Even better!
#rcdsbmath @SteveGriff9 https://t.co/01VPERWPMX

[Steve Griffiths @SteveGriff9]

Delicious learning in Mrs. Miller's class @McNab_PS . Fractions with a side of data management. "Orange you glad we're learning fractions?" - anonymous #RCDSBmath

[Mark R @MarkRstudent]

Seriously though. I want to know. Anyone @rcdsb who came to school today gonna help me figure this out? What strategies would you use?!

[Mark R @MarkRstudent]

Sooooo....how many Snow Days have we had this school year??! How many hours? Minutes? #RCDSBMath

Ok My mom says I can go back to bed! Stay safe teachers and staff going to school today. We need ya! @RCDSB

😴❄️🌨

[Mark R @MarkRstudent]

So many different kinds of number lines too! Cool! https://t.co/aVgAGgueFJ

[Mike Fitzmaurice @MikeFitz157]

Love all the "fraction action" @eganvilleps the kids are developing flexibility between different representations on the number line #fractionaction #RCDSBMath

[Mark R @MarkRstudent]

This is awesome. #RCDSBMath https://t.co/jlZ9IqMcIF

[EganvillePS @eganvilleps]

Mr Fitz’s “math mosh pit” 👏😉 #awesome #decimals @rcdsb @MikeFitz157 @JEMSchooley @MarkRstudent

[Mark R @MarkRstudent]

@RockwoodSchool Cool! I really get those arrays - helps me to see things a little clearer...I've got to get me some of those bingo dabbers! 👍🏻

[Whitney_Public @Whitney_Public]

ALL KINDS of strategies! 1st we noticed there were 6 missing. Next, we counted how many sixes there were. THEN, we filled in the 'part sixes'. FINALLY, we skip counted by sixes! #gr1 #gr2 #gr3 #allinthistogether #collaboration #RCDSBMath @RCDSB, @MarkRstudent @WilliamH_White

[Rockwood Public School @RockwoodSchool]

Hey @MarkRstudent, we are using arrays and benchmarks to solidify our understanding of multiplication! #5daymultiplication #RCDSBmath
