Educators, share a creative or helpful idea with a colleague today. Great ideas often emerge from collective brainstorming and diverse perspectives. Letโs inspire each other!
Do you use pattern blocks for fractions? Building quadrilaterals from fraction blocks and finding their fractional value is a fun way to review #geometry and #fraction skills simultaneously.
This week our K-2 Math Project group had the opportunity to visit P.S./I.S. 217 to observe Number Talks, Fluency Centers and a Math Journal lesson in action. These visits are always inspiring for our Project teachers. HUGE thanks to our host teachers!
Kindergarten is the perfect time to begin providing opportunities for students to make their own decisions about how to record their math ideas and thinking without the limiting structure of a worksheet or workbook. #mathjournals#iteachmath#Kindergarten
Problem solving is challenging so we try to add in some fun! @k5mtr the Math Centers provide word problems that you can cut apart. Ss pick a problem and use blank paper to work out a solution. This looks & feels different than a worksheet! #choice#Perseverance#grade3@Aldendux
Another instant favorite from @k5mtr grade 3 math centers - Missing Number Multiplication and Division. Easy prep and a ton of fact fluency opportunity! @Aldendux@dux_kids
Last day of school before midwinter break but these #nycdoe teachers were still giving it their all as they worked collaboratively to further develop their spatial sense and geometric reasoning skills.
Using the information gained in a meaningful way is crucial. Differentiated counting, numeration and addition/subtraction centers 3x a week for 20 mins. in K-2 can be a game changer if used consistently. #ECAM#fluencycenters
