Exploring the concept of rounding today in Grade 3. Students used a blank number line and coloured tiles to discover the relationship between numbers. “Which numbers are closest to 0? Which numbers are closest to 10? What do you notice about 5?”@M_Mustangs_
Using post it notes to help us add 2 digit numbers with regrouping. Students put their place value knowledge to good use! @M_Mustangs_
Thanks Mrs. Stone! We love the new games you taught us 😊😊
Exploring #relationalrods with @Mrs_ALawrence and her @M_Mustangs_ To the kids.... What do you notice and wonder about these?
Grade Threes worked hard on their Place Value Gingerbread Houses today! 🎄”What is the value of your gingerbread house?”. Students were asked to construct a house with base ten paper and represent their value in 4 ways. @M_Mustangs_
Thank you to our bus drivers for taking the time to review important bus safety procedures today @M_Mustangs_
Using straws to help us understand place value today. “How many straws are in the pile?” We decided to group the straws in piles of ten. Then make groups of 100. @M_Mustangs_

A bittersweet day at school. We finished our packing, signed some bricks & ended the day with some dancing. Our ‘dance train’ went through the school, and included all students & staff! Remember, no school for Mustangs on November 9th. #dancemoves #lastday @GEDSB @sfostermadill
Working in groups to solve addition problems and sharing their strategies...some students are counting on, others use the making tens, doubles or friendly numbers strategies. All the students learn from one another through our daily math talks. @M_Mustangs_
Outside after our tour of our brand new school Mapleview Elementary School!! Exciting time for staff and students! @M_Mustangs_
A student pointed out today that 1 cube was about 2 cm long so there must be 50 cubes in 1 metre so we had to test out his idea! @M_Mustangs_
During our Math Talk, it was interesting to see how everyone arrives at the same answer but uses a different counting strategy that works for them. @M_Mustangs_
Proud of my brother Adam Bontaine working hard on the Brampton Fire Department!! 🔥🔥
Great to have lunch with #Brampton Firefighters at Station 201. I am grateful for their sacrifice for public safety. Thanks to @PL416 @BPFFA1068 and @BoyesWilliam for their service to our City. #brampoli @opffa @IAFFNewsDesk
#ecoGEDSB Another Mapleview Eco Club Initiative...Every Wednesday is LOL (Lights Out Lunches). Doing our part to help save energy. @M_Mustangs_
Kicking off Mapleview Eco Club with some 3D posters to educate students on what types of items belong in the Paper Bin, Plastic Recycle Bin and Garbage. Every Thursday at Mapleview is Litterless Lunch Day! #ecoGEDSB @M_Mustangs_

I love this alternative from @joboaler. Rather than a lot of problems, choose 4 and calculate, write a story, and draw 2 visual solutions.
