CCRCE high schools teachers engaged with @pgliljedahl learning how to Build Thinking Classroms! Shout out to @Wipebook for for donating a set of wipebooks! One lucky attendee will also win some wipebooks😊@CCRCE_NS

Grade 8 Ss @AcademyFrank working collaboratively on MathUP tasks to check their understanding of multiplying integers using counters & number lines. @CCRCE_NS @marian_small @dduff77 @pgliljedahl @CcrceM

@CCRCE_NS Mathematics Support Ts working on rich tasks with Cuisenaire Rods @ VNPS’ in VRG’s & reflecting on engaging ALL learners & nudging them forward in their thinking. @CcrceM @dduff77 @pgliljedahl

Ss @TRES_Tigers & @TruroMiddle deepening their fluency & mathematical understanding as @dduff77 models for principals & regional mathematics team members what effective Tier 1 instruction around daily visualization tasks can look like. @CCRCE_NS @CcrceM

Way to go RMS

The latest podcast from Adding to the Equation (@MCUBEDCCRCEMATH and @KSquaredMathNS) is now available. @alihutchings talks about overcoming challenges and the power of community in the #thinkingclassroom - AMAZING!!!! addingtotheequation.buzzsprout.com/1628392/104387…

Let’s get creative CCRCE!! @CcrceM #ccrce22222

Caine and Oliver who are in Mrs. Greenough’s 2/3 class, at Rawdon District Elementary School, were exploring and making connections, between concrete and pictorial graphs today📊@GillianGreenou1 @CCRCE_NS @Novaccrce

Can't wait to see the entries.

Today is the 4th annual World Day for African and Afrodescendant Culture (#WDAAC? let's get this hashtag buzzing!). @NSTeachersUnion members are immersed in incredible African NSian communities across NS that empower us to teach/honour Black culture, excellence, joy & impact. /1

Here's a way to get kids noticing and wondering about angle measures! #iteachmath

Might make for good dinner conversation…

Mrs. Hayward’s grade 7 class @ Dr WA MacLeod Consolidated collaboratively “thinking” their way through a 3-act task in visibly random groups @ VNPS’. @CCRCE_NS @CcrceM @pgliljedahl #thinkingclassroom #seeinsideourclassrooms

Why do we continue to do this?? @pgliljedahl says visibly random grouping has a positive impact on student thinking—but it must be VISIBLE—students need to know it’s random and not based on ability! #MTBoS #BuildingThinkingClassrooms

CCRCE Early Mathematics Intervention Teachers engaged in Professional Learning around supporting students with the development of strong number sense and place value understandings which are foundational to the progression of mathematics. @CCRCE_NS @CcrceM

On yesterday's quiz, just for fun, I ended with the request "in the spirit of Halloween, show the scariest math mistake you can." I wasn't disappointed by some of the student responses!
