@bencotho What a great combination of skills!

Giving kids feedback and a grade is important but having them reflect on their own learning is even more crucial.

Wednesday la are for Math in the News. Teams worked hard to solve the Super Bowl related problems.

Math & Reading together? Yes, please! Sts. enjoyed reading @NatGeo magazines, finding cool fact and turning them into a word problems.

[MariSpitz @spitzteacher]

I am amazed when I see how creative my 4th graders can be when solving problems! This student made his own way to multiply showing their number sense and flexible thinking.

[MariSpitz @spitzteacher]

I enjoyed the guests, but it’s good to have @evanbirnholz back!

[MariSpitz @spitzteacher]

Fourth graders explored fractions and renaming them using pattern blocks. Loved seeing the collaboration to work problems out!

@evanbirnholz Congrats! That’s really impressive! Mine was getting my one and only correct answer in one guess.

Digital Escape Room to end the week. Teamwork and math skills. Perfect combo. ✏️💻 Thanks to @DitchThatTxtbk for great ideas to include in the Escape Room!

Fourth graders learned about how muscles and bones work and created their own robot hand to show movement. Great Friday activity! @MysterySci

Thanksgiving is just around the corner, so students made a table that would fit a big turkey and all the trimmings. 🦃

Fourth graders reviewed how/when to use their Safe & Quiet place tool. They drew pictures so they can visualize their places.

[MariSpitz @spitzteacher]

After completing a mid-module assessment, 4th graders reflected on something they felt proud of. So cool to read their responses! #studentvoice

It’s the Holiday(s) Season! Fall Party 2023 at Wims was a success! 🍁🎃🍂

Word problems are a lot more fun as Math Mad Libs. Lots of laughter in math today! @MrWalkerWWES had a farm 🐮 🐰 🐥

[MariSpitz @spitzteacher]

4th graders have been learning about energy and made their own chain reaction machines. Yes! They can!!

[MariSpitz @spitzteacher]

Give One Take One Strategy in 5th Grade Math. After the activity students shared:
“It was good to hear what patterns other people saw that I hadn't”
“I liked that I had an idea, I heard a new one and we thought of another one together!” @mrshuyck @WilsonWimsSDT

Lots of excitement in math as students tried to escape Module 1! They all escaped and the first ones took a 🏆 (mini 🏆)
