Thanks to @SteveWyborney for his terrific #estimysteries that were used to structure our #numbertalk around the anti-bullying shoe design t-shirt @Harriett_Todd @HT_Library08 @scdsbmath @lv2learn2 @AMHazlewood #scdsbmath

Adding detail to writing makes it richer, more interesting, clear & powerful — and will help Ss find their voice! #BOTM #MarvMinisK3 #edchat #profdev #literacy #writing

April is #nationalpoetrymonth! Although we explore poetry with students all year long, this is a great time for a deep dive or a time to explore new resources. Find joy and delight in the form! #poetry instagram.com/p/CNSmkgrA3lk/…

It’s #PolypadTaskWeek! Every day, we will share a curious and imaginative activity for your classroom – starting with the perimeter of shapes made out of pentominoes. What is the largest/smallest perimeter you can make? What about odd numbers? mathigon.org/task/pentomino…

We've just added four more FREE events to our PD calendar! Learn about our new Polypad task library, how to use manipulatives to teach numbers, fractions or probability, and hear from other teachers. Sign up at mathigon.org/pd

Ms. McQuaid’s Gr. 6s focusing on variables and simplifying expressions using their understanding of multiplication strategies @JennMcQuaid @Harriett_Todd @scdsbmath #iafcycle

Using the 3 Read Model students worked through a Problem Solving question @nrichmaths @Harriett_Todd @igniteincite @scdsbmath

Lunch and Learn @Harriett_Todd led by @JennMcQuaid. Focusing on #descriptivefeedback and teaching about #problemsolving today @scdsbmath @lv2learn2 Thanks for coming everyone!

Important learning about fact fluency and multiplication today in @JennMcQuaid’s Gr. 6 class @Harriett_Todd. We also explored multiplying fractions using linear models to visualize #iafcycle @scdsbmath #scdsbmath

Terrific problem-solving strategies and focus on the “story” of the problem in Ms. Paquette’s Gr. 3 class @Harriett_Todd @scdsbmath #scdsbmath We even our extended thinking using a ratio table to find other problem solutions.

Multiplying whole numbers by fractional amounts using linear models and unit fractions to support us in @JennMcQuaid Gr. 6 class @Harriett_Todd #iafcycle @scdsbmath #scdsbmath #mathematicalmodelling

Supporting students virtually through a class Google Meet to build division understanding using an open array strategy in Ms. McQuaid’s Gr. 6 @Harriett_Todd @scdsbmath #scdsbmath #iafcycle @JennMcQuaid

Exploring the open array for division in @JennMcQuaid Gr. 6 class @Harriett_Todd today. Making sure we understand the story of the problem first! @scdsbmath #scdsbmath #iafcycle

A great remote lesson on the #partialproducts startegy for multiplying decimal amounts with @JennMcQuaid Gr. 6 students @Harriett_Todd. We used a Google Slide template to model numbers base ten blocks when “the whole” is 1 rod #iafcycle @scdsbmath #scdsbmath

Deep Learning on Multiplication Strategies for Decimal Numbers in @JennMcQuaid Gr. 6 class at @Harriett_Todd @scdsbmath #scdsbmath #iafcycle @lv2learn2

It is important to recognize Black History Month every February and it is even more important to celebrate and uplift black voices throughout the year. Our curated Black Lives Matter collection contains over 175 books. soraapp.com/library/simcoe… #BHM2021 @SCDSBProgram

Today's #FridayPhoto (describe, analyse, interpret, evaluate) was a rich lesson using the historic image of Ruby Bridges to connect to "Shadows and Shoulders". The Ss powerful titles(orange)say so much. Showed this video to complement #DigCitSummit #4CSLA msnbc.com/the-last-word/…

Thank you to Mr. Burnie for working with over 400 HT students to lend a hand to stop bullying. Check out our growing tree in the @HT_Library08 tweet below!
