@EliseGravel Parfait, comme toujours.

@howie_hua I see it as (almost) 4 groups of 5, so 20 and then I take away the two missing 2s, so 16

Wow! I didn't know this video would get that many views. Here's the photo I show to students. How would YOU count the holes?

Thinking about estimating and rounding today...

@Lotty08361393 @NinjaBellFencer @DominicCardy And that is also terrible. But school staff have vaccines but no distancing or masks.

@NinjaBellFencer @DominicCardy At least you got to work from home/virtual for a huge part of this pandemic while there were no vaccines whereas health care staff were in the thick of it (and still are) with ZERO protection from vaccines. We know the drill time take responsibility for ourselves.

I am so frustrated listening to Dr Russell talk about how everyone’s risk of Covid is dependent the precautions they take personally. I spent 6hrs today with at least 2 Covid +ve ppl who didn’t wear masks. To avoid that, all can do I quit my job. #NBEd #Covid19NB @DominicCardy

@jmerritt_coy Yes! I reminded some middle schoolers today that this was a much easier strategy than “borrowing” for subtraction and they were completely baffled.

Elementary teachers do a great job teaching and encouraging reasoning strategies that seem to be replaced by traditional methods in middle school.

@teachergoals @Leo_JamesLeves Snacks. Free snacks.

Put your response in the comments! 👇

Or have a blank game board and have students pull cards with tasks on them. Highly recommend the 1-4 die though. @ThinkArtStuff is always my go-to for cool dice 🎲

You could absolutely do this with math at any level. Tell me your grade 8 kids wouldn’t love battling to see whose dino (or Pokemon, or ostrich…) gets to the finish line first. Each space could have an equation, a shape to name, an angle to find…or a combination!

Today in made-up games by yours truly: practicing teen numbers! Roll the cool die (to get a low number so the game lasts longer) and move your marker (dino) that many spaces. Read the number, show it in 2 ways. #math #mathforlove #mathisvisual #everythingisfunifyoucallitagame

@WeAreTeachers Being spotted at the liquor (or, imagine, the cannabis) store. You’re part of the reason I’m here, Patricia. Back off.

Things a teacher shouldn't have to apologize for. And go ...

If you didn’t get enough twos stuff today, give this a go

#MathGals I have only just discovered these and I LOVE them! Lots of options. mathgals.com

I don't remember when we made this change, but all our #fractiontalks are now viewable in a gallery. mathforlove.com/lesson/fractio…

Another great resource by the lovely and talented @EliseGravel available in English and French)

@DonnaMarie1327 Definitely needs to be fleshed out but the 2 stream system with different entry points is far from ideal, and most of our grads aren’t coming out with more than basic conversational French currently. I got excited for what may be meaningful change 🙃

@MissusRoach I am cautious. Conversational French is not FI. Are we speaking another program to replace the core and FI programs? What about the number of instructional minutes. Let’s ask questions.The details will provide clarity. Monitoring processes are practically none existant.

Yes to all of this. Yes yes. Start this fall with the Ks.

@howie_hua Pencil. It feels weird and messy to use pen.

I don't mean to start any drama but...do you prefer doing math in pen or in pencil? (Not doing a poll because I want to see which side everyone's on lol)

@Mrs_MandyDavis @MsThomas222 So if the mailman is walking toward the house at 3km/ h and I am barking at a rate of 45 barks per minute…

@MsThomas222 “Teacher’s Pet!”
