Mrs. Murray's Class

Thank you to all the Wes Hosford families and our Twitter followers for taking part in our learning journey over the years. Wishing everyone all the best! #whfelementary

The 4’s thought today was the perfect day to learn about Snowflakes and their 6 points (especially with this storm coming!). Students explored with the cuisenaire rods and we discussed and compared their values. Thanks @class4hm for the idea! @dsbn @Richmond_Public #mathtalks

Fun in math at @whfelementary @eips

Creating our own unique snowflakes with Cuisenaire rods! What is the value of each snowflake? #whfelementary #eipsteaches

After reading the story of Snowflake Bentley, we enjoyed playing with a couple of snowflake creators! #whfelementary #eipsteaches

Jeremy Albert spent time with our classes this morning on the Indigenous Giant Floor Map.

D.R.E.A.M. (Drop Everything and Math) images. What patterns can we create using Plus Plus blocks, Cuisenaire rods, Lego, and pattern blocks? #whfelementary #eipsteaches

Exploring the following pattern (4, 7, 10, 13, 16, …) visually using pattern blocks. So many interesting ways to see the pattern grow! #patternblocks #whfelementary #eipsteaches

Wes Hosford #MathClub students building rectangles with #21stCenturyPB! @eips @whfelementary

After dinner math... Roll the dice. Find the product. Draw ANY rectangle with that product. Keep the Blockus rules of having to share a corner with an area of your color (not an edge). Can't fit a rectangle? Strike. 3 strikes you are out. Biggest total area wins. #mathgames

We enjoyed our @bevfacey buddies today! @ReadInWeek @eips @whfelementary

@robertsonprog @whfelementary Yes, you are welcome to use these photos in your newsletter. The above photos are from our Wes Hosford math club (grades 4 - 6), not specifically from our class. The students who created these designs will be thrilled to know their creations are being shared!

@whfelementary Hello @class4hm! We love these examples of symmetry. We are posting a blog/eNewsletter about symmetry and I'm wondering if I can include this some symmetry happening in classrooms. We will include your handle. Happy to discuss/answer any questions!
