Celebrating Black History Month by sharing about some amazing mathematicians ❤️

EA PD got started and I’m so excited to be leading a book study this year; Teaching Math to Multilingual Students ❤️

What does 1,000 paper clips look like? How many 10’s are in a 100? How many 100’s in a 1,000? Reedville second graders found out❤️

Second graders making meaning of picture problems. I loved connecting the hands on, to visuals, to equations. Great conversations around misconceptions too. Evidence of brains growing!

Second graders gaining conceptual understanding of place value with making groups of ten to figure out, how many beans?

Last 2 weeks I’ve been working with our IA’s on the four rights of a learner. They became experts on one, processed their own way and taught others. So proud of their work! #mathconnectsus

Teachers getting their learning on with a PDSA and WODB. #mathconnectsus

What better way to celebrate the year then some amazing math stations! Fun way to engage the students and celebrate math. #mathconnectsus

Holiday music mixed with some math🌲#mathconnectsus

AIM4S3 implementation PD today at Tobias. Engaged in rich discussion around, what does equity mean in mathematics? #mathconnectsus

Explaining their exploration of volume building a City of Cubes. #mathconnectsus @youcubed

Exciting exploration for my 5th graders today using Mindset Mathematics; Visualizing & Investigating Big Ideas.#mathconnectsus

One of the many joys of teaching adults. Love AIM4S3 cohorts! #mathconnectsus

So much fun having Mayor Callaway visit today sharing with 5th graders. He explained how he got to where he is, the education it took & how they can make a difference. Thanks for inspiring! @SteveCallaway2

Started our state math testing today. I tried to make every student feel successful. An example of one of the 25 notes of encouragement I left. The pencils and erasers are from Amazon and I love them!

Had my students who were already proficient using the standard algorithm present a different strategy. They did the Lattice Method, it was so cute, notecards and all. #mathconnectsus

Ss making connections to each other’s work and finding similarities and differences. The conversation was rich and translated to their work samples they had to do as an assessment, yeah. Great Friday!#mathconnectsus

Part 2 of Hidden Figures with more of our carousel strategy.

Fun math class today. I showed Hidden Figures in honor of Black History Month, with the connection to math. Only 1 of my students had seen the movie. They loved it and we had such rich conversations, I highly suggest showing it! #mathconnectsus
