Haley 6th Graders

How much space is there in our cafeteria for eating? Performance? Indoor PE? Applying our knowledge of geometry to make redesign proposals within the same area. #realworldmath

Building community making #VeteransDay cards with our 1st grade buddy class.

Exploring rectangular prisms with the same volume but very different surface areas using @openupresources Which would you want to use to ship your blocks?

We had a great time learning from tech professionals and designing our apps with @Salsify @Buildium and @Runkeeper. @HaleyPilotK8 thanks you for the opportunity!

We loved trying out different machines to recode numbers. Lots of #explodingdots and ah-ha moments as we celebrated #GlobalMathWeek!

6th Graders had a wonderful Friday of community building and enjoying the outdoors at Houghton’s Pond! Thank you @MassDCR and @Playworks.

Check out our new routine inspired by @nytimes Whats Going on in this Graph? Having great conversations diving into data! #noticewonder

Peaceful and joyful end to our Friday afternoon building community with our 1st grade buddy classroom designing squares for @CSRoxbury attempt to make the world's largest peace flag mural. What does peace mean to you? #peaceofmind

How many ways can you find the area? We have been decomposing rearranging and enclosing to find the area of composite figures and sharing our multiple solution paths. #learnwithIM

Starting our geometry unit with @IllustrateMath Reasoning with tangrams we discovered that if 2 triangles make a square each is 1/2 square unit. Can you determine the area of this shape?

Planting the seeds for a #growthmindset about our math learning this year by starting with @joboaler week of inspirational math activities. Building shapes, looking for growing patterns, and making mathematical models.

First week challenges proved successful! Building community through #teamwork #positivity and #perseverance. #6thgradenorms

Great conversations in class today about placement of integers using #estimate180 inspired clothesline math.

Bravo to all our actors! twitter.com/michaeljmaguir…

Great turn out at our winter showcase today. Thank you to the @HaleyPilotK8 parents and supporters who engaged with our 6th grade student experts. We were proud to show what we know!

We have been learning about models. We talked about the efficiency of using tables or double number lines. #ratiotables -Maia

Last day to remember cans for our food drive is tomorrow. Thank you for all donations so far!

Sorting and describing quantities using @IllustrateMath curriculum. What ratios do you see?

Great way to culminate #BostonStemWeek. Ask your stem scholars what they have learned about the moon, notice and wonder. twitter.com/nasa/status/92…

Astronaut training today during #BostonSTEMWeek working on dexterity and communication skills.
