There is a lot of collaboration in Easton, Maryland, as grade 3-5 teachers post Multiplicative Big 8 Ideas and map connections from the area model to partial products and then to the standard algorithm. #math#areamodel
Teachers from Charleston, SC, were all in on OGAP additive reasoning! A Focus on Addition and Subtraction is on their TBR summer reading lists and they are proudly wearing their bead strings in the big, wide world to make a difference for their students! #math#additivereasoning
Math minds & math hands at work in Lexington, SC! These incredible teachers are diving into OGAP Additive by exploring subitizing through math hands and homemade dot cards. Big thinking starting with small dots!
Creating group posters for equivalent fractions using each visual model challenged thinking in Exeter, PA!ย ย The set model challenged our thinkingโฆ but not for long!ย Such a learning opportunity that they promise to do in their classrooms in the fall!
Pausing to reflect on learning throughout the day is helping these Lexington 1 SC teachers plan ways to build students' understanding of number lines in their classrooms next year.
Philadelphia welcomed OGAP back for Proportional training. On Thursday everyone was locked in thinking about percents including one teacher that welcomed this Cornhusker by wearing Nebraska gear. Great week in Philly!
Prince George's County is mindblown by OGAP! "It will completely blow your mind, in the BEST way possible, regarding multiplication and its underlying role in conceptual math understanding!!"
Favorite quote from Albuquerque this week! "Students are struggling to learn and educators are struggling to teach because we have not received THIS training on the logic and why of math."
Beaufort, SC is loving OGAP! "The training is amazing and challenges teachersโ thoughts and pedagogy." "OGAP has been a game-changer for BCSD."๐โโโ
